Lyrics

It must be hard Being an angel When the devil in your heart Won't set you free It must be hard Being an angel When the world has let you down Imperfection all around Hey look at me It must be hard It must be hard It must be hard. Nobody's perfect All of the time Nobody's perfect We are what we are There's no perfect reason And no perfect rhyme For most of the time That's what we're looking for. Gentlemen gentlemen please! Can you please support the notion Of what I'm saying here That the person here in question Must be an angel here on earth If they can't see a human being For what a human being's really worth Gentlemen please! Nobody's perfect All of the time Nobody's perfect We are what we are There's no perfect reason And no perfect rhyme For most of the time That's what we're looking for. It must be hard Being an angel It must be hard When the world has let you down It must be hard Being an angel It must be hard. Nobody's perfect All of the time Nobody's perfect We are what we are There's no perfect reason No perfect rhyme Most all of the time That's what we're looking for...
