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
