(Verse 1)
You walked in late with your cherry-red lips
Swingin’ them hips like a record skip
Snapped your gum and stole the room
Like Saturday night in a neon boom
You said, “Honey, I’m a whole lotta trouble”
Then checked yourself in the spoon on the table
I laughed out loud, you pulled me close
Said, “Baby, everybody already knows”
(Chorus)
I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so
With your high heel heart and your ego glow
You shine brighter than the radio
You got a shake, rattle, roll kinda confidence
Sweet little dangerous elegance
Yeah, I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so
(Verse 2)
Black eyeliner and a polka-dot dress
Walkin’ like a beautiful trainwreck mess
You kissed my cheek, stole my drink
Didn’t even give me time to think
You said your smile oughta be illegal
Tattooed your name on my vinyl needle
Lord help me, I played along
Now your voice is stuck in every song
(Chorus)
I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so
Like a jukebox queen in a midnight glow
Burnin’ holes through the floor below
You got a rebel soul with a movie-star strut
Lipstick marks on my coffee cup
Yeah, I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so
(Bridge)
Well maybe you’re wild
Maybe you’re vain
Maybe you dance barefoot in the rain
But when you lean in with that crooked grin
Baby, I’m gone all over again
(Final Chorus)
I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me twice
And every little brag sounded mighty nice
Like Tennessee whiskey over ice
You got that “ain’t nobody better” energy
And somehow it works on me
Yeah, I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so
(Outro)
Aw baby…
Tell me again real slow…
I already knew you were perfect
‘Cause you told me so.
