Beautiful South, The - Perfect 10 Lyrics






She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12
Baby keep a little 2 for me
She could be sweet 16, bustin' out at the seams
It's still love in the first degree

When he's at my gate, with a big fat 8
You wanna see the smile on my face
And even at my door, with a poor poor 4
There ain't no man can replace

'Cause we love our love,
In different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

If he's extra large well I'm in charge
I can work this thing on top
If he's XXL well what the hell
Every penny don't fit the slot

I get anorexic chicks, who model 6
They don't hold no weight with me
Well 8 or 9, well that's just fine
But I like to hold something I can see

'Cause we love our love,
In different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

I've bought a watch, to time your beauty
But I've had to fit a second hand
I've bought a calendar, and every month
Is taken up by lover man

'Cause we love our love,
In different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

'Cause we love our love, in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

    one of the most body positive songs ever. We talk about it these days (and i am slim) love the message that it's not about that "not on the eyes"

  7. S.... P....

    Beautiful south are always a prefect 10

    Imagine a pop star wearing them Reebok's nowadays. Maybe they should try it, because then they could also make good music.

  11. B.... B....

    Perfect outlook to have
    😉

  12. T.... W....

  13. D.... R....

    Having a debate at work... is she 10/10 and a size 12 or is she a perfect size 10 but wears a size 12??

    D.... R....

    First I think

    D.... R....

    Shes a perfect 10, but she wears a 12, baby keep a little 2 for me!

    D.... R....

    She's his Perfect 10 because she's a size 12.

  14. s.... w....

  19. l.... j....

    Nobody going to comment on how he's singing about body size and her about dick size?

  20. K.... M....

    Best= Little Time
    2nd= Don’t Marry Her
    3rd= Perfect 10
    4th= Rotterdam

    I haven’t listen to any other song

    K.... M....

    Try "I'll sail this ship alone" :)

    K.... M....

    [Verse 1: Paul Heaton]
    She's a perfect ten, but she wears a twelve
    Baby, keep a little two for me
    She could be sweet sixteen, bustin' out at the seams
    It's still love in the first degree


    [Verse 2: Jacqui Abbott]
    When he's at my gate, with a big fat eight
    You wanna see the smile on my face
    And even at my door, with a poor poor four
    There ain't no man can replace


    [Chorus: Both]
    Cause we love our love in different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes its toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight


    [Verse 3: Jacqui Abbott]
    If he's extra large, well I'm in charge
    I can work this thing on top
    If he's XXL, well what the hell
    Every penny don't fit the slot


    [Verse 4: Paul Heaton]
    Ah, the anorexic chicks, the model six
    They don't hold no weight with me
    Well, eight or nine, well that's just fine
    But I like to hold something I can see


    [Chorus: Both]


    [Verse 5: Paul Heaton]
    I've bought a watch to time your beauty
    But I've had to fit a second hand
    [Jacqui Abbott]
    I've bought a calendar, and every month
    Is taken up by lover man


    [Chorus: Both] x2

    This song reminds me of the movie The Empire Strikes back

    C.... ....

    haha , any reason?

  26. J.... H....

    She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12
    Baby keep a little 2 for me
    She could be sweet 16, bustin' out at the seams
    It's still love in the first degree

    When he's at my gate, with a big fat 8
    You wanna see the smile on my face
    And even at my door, with a poor poor 4
    There ain't no man can replace

    'Cause we love our love,
    In different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    If he's extra large well I'm in charge
    I can work this thing on top
    If he's XXL well what the hell
    Every penny don't fit the slot

    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    I've bought a watch, to time your beauty
    But I've had to fit a second hand
    I've bought a calendar, and every month
    Is taken up by lover man

    'Cause we love our love,
    In different sizes
    I love her body, especially the lies
    Time takes it's toll, but not on the eyes
    Promise me this, take me tonight

    'Cause we love our love, in different sizes

  45. B.... W....

    This was written with Tom Jones in mind to sing it. I can definitely hear Tom singing it

  46. c.... m....

    Another great song from Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott and their former band The Beautiful South. 🙂🙂

  47. H.... S....

    That melody always makes me think of people dribbling and the lead male singer makes me think of Johnny Vegas.

  48. S.... G....

    This song is as great as their "Song for Whoever" is dire!!

  49. B.... W....

    Paul Heaton wrote this with Tom Jones in mind to sing it.

    B.... W....

    fank fuck Tom never got near it .....Kiss was fine, then it just got shite....if my memory serves me correctly

  50. B.... ....

    1:19 ラーメン チャーハン🎵

  51. S.... 1....

    Just for the people who don't get the lyrics...he's talking about clothes sizes...she's....not...

    S.... 1....

  52. B.... ....

    I was 10 when this came out and I used to think the nurse was Carol Vordeman.

  53. J.... Y....

    Harika!

  54. 8.... C....

    32k likes and 8 comments?! Criminal

  60. J.... K....

    Love the song but why is the only black man dresed like a prisoner? Hmmmm

    J.... K....

    It's a red suit not a jump suit. The only hmmmm is why you came to that conclusion.

    J.... K....

    Dermacrosis yeah you're right!

    J.... K....

    Well damn me that is not something I hear often :-)

    J.... K....

    Jakob, you are talking BS

    J.... K....

    because it was 1998 no one was so easily offened back then 2019=to many snowflakes

  61. m.... h....

    The1990s at the best bring the 90s back

    m.... h....

    No they weren't and dear god no.

    m.... h....

    Best fucking times.

    m.... h....

    Today's world is such a waste bring back the 80s

    m.... h....

    No they weren't the best. I'm glad to live in 2019. Wouldn't wanna go back to being a teen in 1988.

  62. J.... G....

    I remember this was the theme to ITV's Fat Friends

    J.... G....

    I love Fat Friends :) shot in Leeds

  63. S.... ....

    Is the big fat 8 what I think it is?

    S.... ....

    ST0qr are you kidding me 🤣

    S.... ....

    Haha yea I think it is what you're thinking

    S.... ....

    So is the poor poor 4 ...

    S.... ....

    yep, he's talking about clothes sizes and she is talking about, erm, different sizing

  64. m.... ....

    Such a great lyric. So many women spend their lives dieting, yet when Paul sings "I like to hold something I can see." Is spot on. Most blokes don't go for skinny women Anyway where did I leave those chocolate biscuits??

    m.... ....

    who the fuck goes shopping

    m.... ....

    Shopping? Is this the 90s?

    m.... ....

    Yeah! And looks dont count either? Mon oeille!

    m.... ....

    Women don't exist solely to attract a man. So yes men might like a non skinny woman,but we don't Starve our selves solely to please men.

    m.... ....

    How beautiful is this comment girls.... sweet x

  65. A.... G....

    I beg to differ - thirty years ago...? You just trying to make me feel old.... 1998 people!

    A.... G....

    Adam Gill questionable maths tho
