She Looks So Perfect Lyrics

[Intro: All]
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey

[Verse 1: Luke]
Simmer down, simmer down
They say we're too young now to amount to anything else
But look around
We worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now
If you don't swim, you'll drown
But don't move, honey


[Chorus: All]
You look so perfect standing there
In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now that I'm so down
Your lipstick stain is a work of art
I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart
And I know now that I'm so down (Hey!)

[Post-Chorus: All]
Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey

[Verse 2: Calum, Calum & Michael, Calum & Ashton]
Let's get out, let's get out
'Cause this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down

While I was out
I found myself alone, just thinkin'
If I showed up with a plane ticket
And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it
Would you wanna run away too?
'Cause all I really want is you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
