Practice Makes Smerfect
You’ll never be perfect, I’m sorry you won’t,
Perfect just doesn’t exist.
There’ll always be something that could be improved,
There’ll always be something you missed.
But if you just try, with all that you’ve got,
To be the best you you can be,
Then no matter what, I promise you this,
You’ll always be smerfect to me.
Perfect just doesn’t exist.
There’ll always be something that could be improved,
There’ll always be something you missed.
But if you just try, with all that you’ve got,
To be the best you you can be,
Then no matter what, I promise you this,
You’ll always be smerfect to me.
