Don't Do Perfect

I can pretend to be a whore
Get mad and slam the fucking door
but I'm not really that way
doesn't even depend on the day
I'm not good enough to be considered a good girl
and if someone calls me one I try not to hurl
Gypsies run and Gypsies hide
the monsters that live inside
But I'll never good enough to be an angel
nor bad enough to be a devil from hell
Just a imperfect girl gypsy
wondering, searching for a place for me
for hand that'll hold mine
and lips that'll tell me it'll be all be fine
so tell me where do gypsy girls go
when everyone they go to tells them no?
Cherokee but still considered a white nobody
too old fashioned to fit well in a modern world
like a scared blossom too scared to be uncurled
so what is an imperfect girl supposed to do?
when she can't rely on anyone whom she doesn't know is true
I just want to be seen for whom I really am
and playing perfect is just not something I really do
