Perfection

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
(A winners work is never done)
Perfection, oh!
I was taught to be tough
That 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 at love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Had made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know what it takes
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Oh, 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 stayed the same
When love is here today
And then it's gone today
You got a list of lovers like a resumè
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
Oh perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my protection
I'm goin' crazy with perfection
Oh, I didn't know it then, but oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard at love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Had made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know what it takes
Oh, I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Oh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
Nothing's perfect when love ain't right
