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.

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 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
Just cause love's treason, broke, broke your happy home
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.

    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.

  16. R.... E....

    Lowell's last album with the FEAT

    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.

  18. t.... m....

    2 people dislike this? i feel sorry for them - they have no heart or soul. ah well, their loss.

    t.... m....

    +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.

    t.... m....

    Some of us are touched by the music, others are not touched by anything..

  19. J.... ....

    One of the greater song compositions I've ever heard.  GRRRRrreat as in grit your teeth and - try to - move on.

    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

  24. t.... ....

    Old news now, but thanks!

  25. n.... ....

    front page news.

  26. M.... ....

    if you listen to this album carefully...you can almost hear lowell saying goodbye

    M.... ....

    Just as I read your comment the tune was at 3:27. Wow.

  27. t.... ....

    Grrrrrr...
    (I was a kit then but Ive grown into a tiger since. See you by the pool? ;).

  28. t.... ....

    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:)

  29. A.... ....

    Always dug those Neon Parks covers... Still one of the coolest break-up songs in
    rock & roll

  30. J.... J....

    Fantastic album. I've had to buy it three times because people pinching it !!!

  31. t.... ....

    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?:)

  32. A.... ....

    You're welcome! I myself dont know of anyone else who has covered this song..Alot of Feat songs do get covered though:)
