Black Lab Lyrics
"Perfect Girl"

Nobody ever, ever could tell her
What it's like to fall in love
Tired of searching
She wants to be perfect
Nothing's ever good enough
And I watch, I wait, catch her eye and look away
Nobody ever, ever could tell her
But I tried

[Chorus]
Now she keeps me hanging on the line
Praying at the sky
Every single night's the same
(she's a perfect girl)
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Everybody knows her name
(she's a perfect girl)
(she's a perfect girl)
(she's a perfect girl)

And she wanted to want me, wanted to need me
Wanted all those distant stars
Wanted a surgeon, a full operation
But she couldn't bear the scars
And she cut me well, but she wouldn't be cut herself
And nobody told me I could be lonely when I fell

[Chorus]

Well I'm not perfect, what's a girl to do
In a perfect world I'd be perfect too
But the longer that she makes me wait
The more my heart begins to break
But it's worth it when she comes
In the morning she'll be gone

[Chorus]
And I'll be hanging on the line
Praying at the sky
Every single night's the same
(she's a perfect girl)
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Everybody knows her name
(she's a perfect girl)
(she's a perfect girl)
Everybody knows that she could be (she's a perfect girl)
Everybody knows that she could be (she's a perfect girl)
She's a perfect girl
