Lyrics The Perfect Partner - Jimmy Buffett
The
Perfect
Partner
By:
Marshall
Chapman
1982
"When
I
sang
Marshall′s
song,
I
thought
of
summer
nights
at
The
beach
long
ago
doing
the
shag
to
THE
DRIFTERS
records
And
wanting
desperately
to
fall
in
love.
I
still
like
to
shag
to
THE
DRIFTERS."
Look
over
here
there's
a
girl
I′ve
never
seen
her
before
Her
eyes
are
lookin'
straight
at
you
Across
the
crowded
dance
floor
Ooh
ooh
she's
smilin′
What
a
beautiful
sight
Oh
I
got
a
funny
feelin′
She's
gonna
dance
with
you
tonight
Chorus:
She
could
be
the
perfect
partner
She
can
take
it
in
her
stride
She
won′t
try
to
lead
or
follow
Perfect
partner
by
your
side
Ooh
you
got
to
take
a
chance
You
got
to
let
somebody
move
you
It
can
happen
at
a
dance
If
there's
a
rhythm
you
can
groove
to
Ooh
here
she
comes
ya′ll
She's
comin′
straight
to
me
She's
gonna
ask
me
if
I
want
to
dance
I'll
just
have
to
wait
and
see
Chorus:
She
could
be
the
perfect
partner
She
can
take
it
in
her
stride
She
won′t
have
to
lead
or
follow
Perfect
partner
by
my
side
The
worse
thing
that
can
happen
is
She
steps
on
your
toes
But
′til
you
take
that
first
step
with
her
How
will
you
know,
know,
know
Chorus:
That
she
could
be
the
perfect
partner
She
can
take
it
in
her
stride
She
won't
have
to
lead
or
follow
Perfect
partner
by
my
side
Chorus:
She
could
be
the
perfect
partner
(she
could
be
the
perfect
partner)
She
can
take
it
in
her
stride
(she
can
take
it
in
her
stride)
She
won′t
have
to
lead
or
follow
(she
won't
have
to
lead
or
follow)
Perfect
partner
by
my
side
Ooh
ooh
ooh
ooh
