Original Broadway Cast of Next To Normal
Perfect for You
[HENRY]
Our planet is poison
The oceans, the air
Around and beneath and above you
[NATALIE]
Um, Henry, that's true
And I totally care
[HENRY]
I'm trying to tell you I love you
[NATALIE]
What?
[HENRY]
The world is at war
Filled with death and disease
We dance on the edge of destruction
The globe's getting warmer by deadly degrees
[NATALIE]
And this is one fucked up seduction
[HENRY]
This planet is pretty much broken beyond all repair
But one thing is working if you're standing there
Perfect for you
I could be perfect for you
I might be lazy, a loner
A bit of a stoner, it's true
But I might be perfect
I'll make myself perfect
Perfect for you
You square all the corners
I straighten the curves
[NATALIE]
You've got some nerve, Henry
And I'm just all nerves
[HENRY]
But even if everything else turns to dirt
[HENRY & NATALIE]
We'll be the one thing
In this world that won't hurt
[HENRY]
I can't fix what's fucked up
But one thing I know I can do
I can be perfect for you
[NATALIE]
I can be perfect for you
[HENRY & NATALIE]
Perfect for you
