Little Feat - Perfect Imperfection Lyrics
There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
She thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw.
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to be so fine.
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.
You know that there's no reason for you to be alone
How can you celebrate when all you feel is sufferin' heartache?
Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet.
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

Little Feat Perfect Imperfection Comments
RIP Paul Barrere (guitarist)
What a Voice !!!!!
Oh Lowell, you left us way to soon, but you left us some of the best music ever. Thanks to you and your marvellous band
that silde guitar breaks my heart every time....RIP Lowell
one of my most favourite singers and songwriters , mom told me , Lowell had died , made me feeling sad , I am still in love with you Liv....good bye Leopold
incredible touch on the slide....
Redduke Teleman Soulful Vocal. Bravo
heartbreak 4 SURE!!
That's some hot, R&B-sounding stuff right there!
underrated album.
nyg1954 ....not by me...CU Boulder..eary 80s ..EVERY party had Waiting for Columbus full tilt
still the best
who says no?
yeah, very much like the dan with the chops and all...the slide just slides in there and blends with the chops and black ground vocals....I think some of Lowell and the groups best work..
Sounds Steely Dan-ish
Favourite (perfect) song by my favourite band. It doesn't get much better than this.
my fav little f tune. fav album too. do they still do clubs?
Catalina Simmons Saw them in Newark Delaware at The Stone Ballon under the name Chicken Legs in 1982. All the original Little Feat lineup with Catfish Hodge on slide guitar. What an awesome show for a small nightclub. Occupancy of 250 and 700 people where admitted that night. Unforgettable night.
Lowell's last album with the FEAT
i listen and love a lot of music. But Lowell George is unsurpassed. Little Feat is amazing, top to bottom.
+Preston Presley You speak true, Preston Presley !!!
@Polly Ess
nods ...
Very true. This one, so unusual so fine. I love the look the first time I play a LF tune for an uninitiate. Then they are infected too.
2 people dislike this? i feel sorry for them - they have no heart or soul. ah well, their loss.
+the mighty joe I also feel sorry for them mighty joe. it's not that they have no taste, but more the fact that they are missing so much.
Some of us are touched by the music, others are not touched by anything..
One of the greater song compositions I've ever heard. GRRRRrreat as in grit your teeth and - try to - move on.
I don't think it has ever been released, but GOV'T MULE has done this in concert and always do a wonderful performance with it. Such a GREAT SONG!!
+mulemusic It was released in 1979.
you couldn't be more on it? that's for shore******
down on the farm is the album
Breaks my heart to hear his voice. He had SO much more to offer. RIP Lowell, Gawd, I miss you.
There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
Thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw
Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
You know that there's no reason
For you to be alone
Just 'cause love's treason
Broke, broke you happy home
You can't celebrate
When all you feel is sufferin' heartache
Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
Thanks for the lyrics, Forrest. Such sweet words from a sweet man.
One of my favorites " love is like a shiny DIAMOND"
Old news now, but thanks!
front page news.
if you listen to this album carefully...you can almost hear lowell saying goodbye
Just as I read your comment the tune was at 3:27. Wow.
Grrrrrr...
(I was a kit then but Ive grown into a tiger since. See you by the pool? ;).
Jesus, thanks. Its been on the tip of my tongue for about twenty years.
I was thinking 'read all about it' or 'stop press' but knew it was more obvious than those.
I can now get some sleep:)
Always dug those Neon Parks covers... Still one of the coolest break-up songs in
rock & roll
Fantastic album. I've had to buy it three times because people pinching it !!!
Takes me back to an imperfect time when I used to listen to this perfection of an album. The cover always made me want to say 'fuck a duck'. Not very original I guess. Always fancied her but the tiger beside the pool made me realise she wouldnt be interested. Sad, eh?
There was a track about a news/newspaper on this Album but cant remember the exact name.
Please upload and make a drake even happier.Please?:)
You're welcome! I myself dont know of anyone else who has covered this song..Alot of Feat songs do get covered though:)
