Perfect 10 Lyrics

Paul: She's a Perfect 10 But she wears a 12 Baby, keep a little 2 for me She could be sweet 16 Bustin' out of the seams It's still love in first degree Jacqui: When he's at my gate With a big fat 8 You wanna see the smile on my face And even at my door With a poor poor 4 There ain't no man can replace Both: 'Cause we love our love In different sizes I love her body Especially the lies Time takes it's toll But not on the eyes Promise me this Take me tonight Jacqui: If he's extra large (paul: "that's me") Well I'm in charge I can work this thing on top If he's XXL Well what the hell Every penny don't fit the slot Paul: All the anorexic chicks The model 6 They don't hold no weight with me Well 8 or 9, Well that's just fine But I like to hold something I can see Both: 'Cause we love our love In different sizes I love her body Especially the lies Time takes it's toll But not on the eyes Promise me this Take me tonight Paul: I bought a watch To time your beauty But I've had to fit a second hand Jacqui: I've bought a calendar And every month Is taken up by loverman Both: 'Cause we love our love In different sizes I love her body Especially the lies Time takes it's toll But not on the eyes Promise me this Take me tonight

Meaning of Perfect 10

“Perfect 10” explores the complicated and playfully cynical nature of love through a bizarre obsession with sizing. Paul and Jacqui’s relationship isn't defined by conventional attractiveness, but rather by their individual desires for different types of affection and physical attraction – represented by numerical sizes from “2” to “XXL”. The song captures a sense of amused detachment as they acknowledge the absurdity of their preferences, suggesting that love isn't about fitting into a standard mold, but about embracing unique needs and fantasies. The repeated refrain, "Cause we love our love in different sizes," underscores this central theme. Despite recognizing the potential for deception ("Especially the lies"), there’s an undeniable intimacy and playful commitment within their mismatched desires, ultimately promising a night of indulgence and highlighting that true connection transcends superficial appearances or societal expectations – a slightly unsettling yet undeniably charming sentiment from The Beautiful South.
