Perfect For Me is a song that appeared in Trolls World Tour, performed by Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick.
About[]
The song is sung by Branch in the movie after he and Queen Poppy fail to convince the Funk Trolls to join them against Queen Barb. As the pair descends, Branch speaks up about Queen Poppy ignoring the advice of others throughout the movie's storyline and continuing to hear only what she wants to hear. He states that differences matter and that the two of them are too different to get along. The pair have a fight, questioning why they're friends when they're so different from each other, and Branch walks away after basically confessing to Poppy he's in love with her by asking why he cares about her more than anyone else in the world, kneeling by the water some distance away from her.
Branch then proceeds to sing this song to himself, reflecting on how the girl he wants is perfect for him, but they just can't seem to work things out and therefore can't be together. When the song ends, he's ambushed by The K-Pop Gang.
Lyrics[]
I know your favorite song
I hear it every day
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way
And every time you laugh
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing
To love you, but not know how
So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away
I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
That we were made for each other, but I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
What good are words when they
always just get in our way?
And it hurts the most just to know
that you don't feel the same, the same
So sometimes I get down on my knees
and I pray things will change
But life is what happens when things
they don't work out our way, our way
So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid, hmm
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away, away
I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
We were made for each other, but I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me (Oh, yeah, hey)
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
Branch:
Mmm (x3)
I know your favorite song
I hear it every day
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way
And every time you laugh
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing
To love you, but not know how
So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away
I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
That we were made for each other, but I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
Branch and Poppy:

Branch:
Oh yeah
Branch and Poppy:
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me
Trivia[]
- The song echoes the Country Trolls' love of sad songs, rather than the Pop Trolls' normal idea that music is supposed to make them happy. This is logical, as Branch himself said that he liked Born to Die upon hearing it.
