Will boys ever be boys again
Blonde boy, in a perfect world you'd / Know if you loved her
Will girls ever be girls again

Black boy, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding
Still you're perfect cause you love / Your girl
Black girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be no demanding
Still you're perfect cause you love / Your man
It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution

In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast
They go bump to bump / In the perfect world
For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl
They go bump to bump / In the perfect world

Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya
And everyone would understand
White boy, in a perfect world you'd / Need no protection
And love would still be something / In heart

White girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding
And boys would be boys again
Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya
And everyone would understand

It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis
We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution

In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast
They go bump to bump / In the perfect world
For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl
They go bump to bump / In the perfect world
