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, 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

We're lost in a world gone crazy
Where the men won't grow up
And the women get so hard


Oh, this ain't no perfect world
And I've got my problems

No, this ain't no perfect world
Cause you've got your problems too
Now what do we do


I don't know
If we wind up friends

I don't know
If we wind up strangers


Cause I never had to
Walk away from anybody
I wanted as much

As I wanted you

Oh, this ain't no perfect world

Cause I've got my problems
Oh, this ain't no perfect world
Cause you've got your problems too


Oh, this ain't no perfect world
Oh, no, no

Oh, this ain't no perfect world

You got your problems

I got mine
We're dying for love....
