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)
(She's a perfect girl)
(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
She keeps me hanging on the line
Waiting for a sign
Begging for what I mean
Hanging by phone
Praying all alone
Waiting for soul to bleed
(She's a perfect girl)
(She's a perfect girl)
Everybody knows that she cut me
Everybody knows that she cut me
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
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)
(She's a perfect girl)
Everybody knows that she cut me
(She's a perfect girl)
Everybody knows that she cut me
(Perfect girl)
She's a perfect girl
