His day is over It's just another night The same old faces Always pass him by His heart is willing But the world's so cold Oh how he longs for Someone real to hold
She takes the bus home To her usual place All kinds of people But they leave no trace She knows by now That dreams are not enough All she wanted Was someone real to love
And just as surely as the sun will rise Each one knows that there'll be no surprise Yet still each day they live in hope And try for more There must be someone Who's worth dying for
(chorus) Hmmm All we need is understanding Love is easy When boy meets girl Maybe tomorrow we'll try again No complications In a perfect world
Ooh, la la la la la la ah
(chorus)
In a perfect world
Ooh, la la la la la la ah
She'll sit and wonder Where it's all gonna end It's getting harder For the young to pretend Their dreams may never see The light of day It's not a perfect world That they have made Yet still each day they live in hope And try for more It's not a perfect world Their dreams may never see The light of day It's not a perfect world That they have made It's not a perfect world
