Perfectly Good
Fixing things up, making them right
Plugging the leaks, everything tight
Recycle, repurpose, reuse like you should
Why throw it away when it’s perfectly good?
Leftovers are fine, we’re like pigs at the trough
So what if it’s moldy, just scrape the mold off
I’ll bet that you’d shop at Whole Foods if you could
But why throw it away when it’s perfectly good?
Why go shopping for new love when love can’t be bought?
The lover that’s best is the one that you’ve got
And didn’t she do you the best that she could?
So why throw her away when she’s perfectly good?
