Glen Burtnik Lyrics
"Perfect World"

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

'Cause oh
This ain't no perfect world
I've got my problems
No
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
Yeah, you could have been yourself

You see, we're dying for love
But we're afraid to drop our guard
Lost in a world gone crazy
Where the men won't grow up
And the women get so hard

And oh
This ain't no perfect world
I've got my problems
No
No this ain't no perfect world
You've got your problems, too

I don't know what happens next
Are we friends or are we strangers?
'Cause all I know
I never had to walk away
From anyone I wanted as much
As I want you

No

Oh
This ain't no perfect world
I've got my problems
No
No this ain't no perfect world
You've got your problems, too
So what do we do?

In a perfect world
It would never end like this
There'd be something we could do
