Ohh, I swear! 
No such thing, no such thing 
No such thing, no such thing 

You're waiting for the lightning to strike you from the 
sky 
You're waiting for the fireworks on the Fourth Of July 
But sure as there's a moon in the heavens up above 
There's no such thing as the perfect love 

You read Harlequin Romances and True Life Magazines 
You're the young and you're the restless 
You relate to every scene 
I tried to tell you once but I guess it's not enough 
There's no such thing as the perfect love 

Baby what you want from me come and take it 
But never give your heart for free 'cause I'll break it 
Yeah I'll break it 

You're still listening for the footsteps 
You sit there by the phone 
Staring at your posters aren't you tired of being alone 
You may think you're trying but it isn't hard enough 
There's no such thing as the perfect love 

You gotta be there 
If you sit around and wait for love it'll get you 
nowhere 
Nowhere! 

Love can really break your heart if you let it 
If you're looking for the perfect love just forget it 
Forget it! 

Baby you're so precious you're living out a dream 
I'm scared that when you wake up you'll look around and 
scream 
'Cause life is no illusion, it really is so tough 
There's no such thing as the perfect love 

no such thing (as the perfect love), no such thing 
No such thing, no such thing 
No such thing (ain't no way baby), no such thing (as 
the perfect love) 
No such thing, no such thing 
No such thing (ain't no way baby), no such thing 
(is it perfect, is it perfect, you can't buy it) no 
such thing, no such thing 
No such thing (you're so young now baby), no such thing 
(are you listening now mama?) 
No such thing, no such thing
