This is a song about growing maturity, a yearning for a meaningful relationship and weariness with night life. A constant theme in Sam Smith’s music is loneliness, and this is emerges again in “the night life got too lonely”.
The jazz-influenced slow but emphatic rhythm has maturity and confidence...
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm workin' on it
I go up, I go down, I go all the way around
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
I used to love the night life
Till the night life got too lonely
Might be time for the right guy
Got a feeling that it could be you
You like them crazy, do you?
I'm crazy through and through
I wear my flaws like jewellery
And I'm dripping
[Verse 2: Jessie Reyez]
Yeah, I used to love the night life
Till the night life got too boring
Might be time for the right guy, yeah
Got a feeling that it could be you
Could be you, should be you
Two plus two makes one in love
It could be us, baby, touch
I'm soft to touch, yeah
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm workin' on it
I go up, I go down, I go all the way around
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
[Verse 3: Sam Smith, Jessie Reyez, Both]
Big lips just how I like
Be brave, boy, put them on me
I go crazy in the twilight (Loca)
Got a feeling that you do too (Yeah)
You love that trouble, do you?
I'm trouble through and through (I'm trouble)
I wear my flaws like jewellery (Geez)
And I'm dripping
You like them crazy, do you? (Crazy)
I'm crazy through and through (Through and through)
I wear my flaws like jewellery
And I'm dripping
[Chorus: Both, Sam Smith, Jessie Reyez]
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm workin' on it
I go up, I go down (I go down), I go all the way around (I go all the way around)
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
[Outro: Sam Smith, Jessie Reyez, Both]
But I'm worth it, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now you know I'm not perfect
But you're the one that's worth it
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know
I'm worth it, you know I'm worth it
You know I'm worth it
You know I'm worth it, yeah
You know I'm worth it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is where sex starts to come into the record. I feel like I’ve been a bit desexualised during my career, and I was very young when I started. Being 20 years old and moving onstage in the way I would in a gay bar was petrifying. Jessie really taught me to be brave: I would say things to her in th...
