On Jan 7, 2019, Joriah Kwame became aware that Taylor Lauderman was looking for new songs for “Write Out Loud”. On Jan 11 he started working on Little Miss Perfect (among other pieces for his Tapes of Song Cycle, about suicide), and on Jan 13, he included it as part of his submission for the “Write...
Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward
Straight past, I don't cut corners
I make a point to be on time
Head of the student council
I don't black out at parties
I jam to Paul McCartney
If you asked me how I'm doing
I'll say... well
I was adopted when I was two
My parents spoiled me rotten, often
I ask myself what did I do
To get as far as I've gotten
A pretty girl walks by my locker
My heart gives a flutter but I don't dare utter a word
'Cause that would be absurd
Behavior for "Little Miss Perfect"
Na-na-na-na-na- no
I can't risk falling off my throne
La-la-la-la-la- love
Is something I don't even know
Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward
Straight girl
"Little Miss Perfect"
That's me
One night, my friend stayed over
We laughed
And drank and ordered
Something about her drew me in...
What? It's totally platonic
That night, was so exciting
Her smirks were so enticing
Hours speed by like seconds
Then, what happens is iconic
She takes a sip
I bite my lip
She tells a joke
I nearly choke
She braids my hair
I sit there, blacking out for the first time
Next thing I know
I lose control
I finally kiss her but oh no
I see a face in my window
Then my brain starts to go:
Na-na-na-na-na- no
You can't risk falling off your throne
La-la-la-la-la- love
Is something you don't even know
Na-na-na-na-na- no
You can't risk falling off your throne
La-la-la-la-la-la- love
You don't even know
Rewind, induce amnesia
Deny the truth, it's easier
You're just confused
Believe her
When she says that there's nothing there
It's never worth it...
When you're "little miss perfect"
Little Miss Perfect was written by Joriah Kwame.
