In a Perfect World - Bananarama

Love is easy

No complications

In a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah (x 3)

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

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 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

Ooh, la la la la la la ah (x 2)
