Well, I know what it is

But I don't know where it is

Where it is

Well, I know where it is

But I don't know what it looks like

What it looks like

Well, I know what it looks like,

But I don't know where she comes from

Well, I know where she comes from,

But I don't know what's her name.

(and she said) This is a perfect world

I'm riding on an incline

I'm staring in your face

You'll photograph mine

And I've been walking, talking

Believing the things that are true

And I've been finding

The difference between right and wrong...good and bad

See me put things together

Put them back where they belong

Am I just like the others

Have I always been singing the same song

CHORUS

Somebody said that it happens all over the world

I do believe that it's true

And the sun's coming up

And we're doing all the things that we should

Doesn't everbody here believe in the things we do?

(And she said) CHORUSu

It's a strange situation

What's wrong with you?

Baby...baby...baby

What you doing in my house?

And it's all true

There's nothing wrong with you

(And I said) CHORUS
