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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
and i'll be
|
|

perfect girl
