In a perfect world it would never end like this There'd be something we could do In a perfect world lovers wake up with a kiss And their wishes all come true But here we are i thought you belonged to me It seemed like the perfect arrangement Ain't it funny when you find how wrong you can be Oh this ain't no perfect world I've got my problems No this ain't no perfect world You've got your problems too Now what do we do In a perfect world i'd have been the boy you need I'd have been somebody else In a perfect world you'd have been the girl for me You could have been yourself We're dying for love but we're not afraid to drop our guard We're lost in a world gone crazy Where the men won't grow up and the women get so hard I don't know if we'll wind up friends I don't know if we'll wind up strangers Cause i've never had to walk away from anybody I wanted as much as you
