Love is easy 
No complications 
In a perfect world 

Ooh, la la la la la la ah 
Ooh, la la la la la la ah 
Ooh, la la la la la la ah 

His day is over 
It's just another night 
The same old faces 
Always pass him by 
His heart is willing 
But the world's so cold 
Oh how he longs for 
Someone real to hold 

She takes the bus home 
To her usual place 
All kinds of people 
But they leave no trace 
She knows by now 
That dreams are not enough 
All she wanted 
Was someone real to love 

And just as surely as the sun will rise 
Each one knows that there'll be no surprise 
Yet still each day they live in hope 
And try for more 
There must be someone 
Who's worth dying for 

Hmmm 
All we need is understanding 
Love is easy 
When boy meets girl 
Maybe tomorrow we'll try again 
No complications 
In a perfect world 

Ooh, la la la la la la ah 

Hmmm 
All we need is understanding 
Love is easy 
When boy meets girl 
Maybe tomorrow we'll try again 
No complications 
In a perfect world

In a perfect world 

Ooh, la la la la la la ah 

She'll sit and wonder 
Where it's all gonna end 
It's getting harder 
For the young to pretend 
Their dreams may never see 
The light of day 
It's not a perfect world 
That they have made 
Yet still each day they live in hope 
And try for more 
It's not a perfect world 
Their dreams may never see 
The light of day 
It's not a perfect world 
That they have made 
It's not a perfect world 

Ooh, la la la la la la ah 
Ooh, la la la la la la ah
