Perfect Day -- Lou Reed

Just a perfect day Drink sangria in the park And then later, when it gets dark
We go home Just a perfect day Feed animals in the zoo Then later a movie, too
And then home  it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you
such a perfect day You just keep me hanging on You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day Problems all left alone Weekenders on our own It's such fun
Just a perfect day You made me forget myself I thought I was someone else
Someone good 

Oh, it's such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow You're going to reap just what you sow

lyrics are often considered to suggest simple, conventional romantic devotion, possibly alluding to Reed's relationship with Bettye Kronstadt (soon to become his first wife) and Reed's own conflicts with his sexuality, drug use, and ego.  (songfacts)
