Perfect Girl Lyrics - Black Lab

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
