|
Hush little Baby, gotta be strong
|
'Cause in this world we are born to fight...
|
|
Be the best, prove them wrong
|
A winner's work is never done...
|
|
Reach the top, number one
|
Perfection...
|
|
Oh, perfection
|
You drive me crazy with perfection
|
I've worn my pride as my protection
|
Perfection...oh!
|
|
I was taught to be tough
|
The best that you can be ain't enough
|
Crack the whip, sacrifice
|
But I found out paradise had a price
|
I didn't know it then
|
But oh I know it now
|
You gotta work as hard as love
|
To make the love work out
|
You know this heart of mine
|
Has made some big mistakes
|
I guess that when it comes to love
|
I just don't know what I takes...
|
|
Chorus:
|
All my life I've been driven by perfection
|
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
|
Whoa...I've been driven by perfection
|
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
|
Nothing's perfect when love ain't right...
|
|
Gave it all
|
Played my part
|
I gave everything I had but my heart
|
Worked so hard
|
Made a name
|
But the loneliness inside stays the same
|
When love is here today
|
And then it's gone today
|
You got a list of lovers lookin' like a resum?br> You gotta take some time
|
To make it something real
|
I guess that when it comes to love
|
I just don't know how to feel
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Oh, Perfection
|
You drive me crazy with perfection
|
I've worn my pride as my protection
|
I'm goin' crazy with perfection
|
