I was crying one night - sad and feeling old,

Didn’t like my life - then you sang on that new show

I opened up my heart - fell for all your charms, (just in time)

And now I know that I - have left sadness behind (just let it go)

You could tell me all night,

that Rueben was gonna win,

but your fame’s on the rise,

and you’re gonna sing again.

For as long as you’re in my life,

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay

There’s a look in your eyes - that’s so happy and bright,

You’re just the perfect guy - and I couldn’t love you more

I want to make you mine - now that I’ve seen you live

and I know I’m not alone.

cause now I know that I - have left sadness behind (just let it go)

You could tell me all night,

that Rueben was gonna win,

but your fame’s on the rise,

and you’re gonna sing again.

For as long as you’re in my life,

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay

You came in second and it wasn’t right - now you’re free to leave that show behind,

that show won’t go on without you.

And now I know that I - have left sadness behind (I let it go)

You could tell me all night,

that Rueben was gonna win,

but your fame’s on the rise,

and you’re gonna sing again.

For as long as you’re in my life,

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay

You could tell me all night,

that Rueben was gonna win,

but your fame’s on the rise,

and you’re gonna sing again.

For as long as you’re in my life,

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay

You’ll always be my "perfect" Clay
