| I know some friends of mine
|
| Think about them all the time
|
| Why can’t my life be like that?
|
| I’ve seen them in the park
|
| Restauranting after dark
|
| Working out on their yoga mats
|
| Stars of the dance hall crowd
|
| Married young, took their vows
|
| Comfort in their boldness and their flair
|
| Dab hands for all to see
|
| Stroke of brush and poetry
|
| His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair
|
| Thank you for the invite tonight
|
| Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks
|
| I’m getting ideas from your interiors
|
| Perfect apartments, perfect kids
|
| Perfect couples are breaking up
|
| What have they done?
|
| Those perfect couples are breaking up
|
| What have they done?
|
| Don’t make me feel so good
|
| Expect that stuff in Hollywood
|
| Not in my current milieu
|
| Sexual tension at the fridge
|
| He makes for the organic figs
|
| Belmondo lips, dangling a cig
|
| And she, just back from her hike
|
| And to the gallery she might glide by
|
| With a basket on her bike
|
| They’ve got issues too
|
| But what can you do?
|
| Bad times
|
| They’ll always see them through
|
| (It always lurked in their mind)
|
| Perfect couples are breaking up
|
| What have they done?
|
| (In the back of her mind)
|
| Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
|
| What have I done?
|
| (It always lurked in his mind)
|
| Those perfect couples
|
| Are now breaking up
|
| What have they done?
|
| (In the back of their minds)
|
| Perfect couples, they keep breaking up
|
| What have I done?
|
| Never happy with my girl
|
| Jealous of a different world
|
| Suddenly the years slip away
|
| What am I waiting for?
|
| (I see those perfect couples and I)
|
| What makes me close the door?
|
| I see those perfect couples
|
| (Why can’t I be like them?)
|
| I admire the most
|
| Finding fault with my heart
|
| (It's always been the same and then)
|
| And always back to the start
|
| What makes me get in the fray
|
| Then just throw it away
|
| Yeah, I throw it away
|
| Yes I throw it away (only to find)
|
| Yes I throw it away (only to find)
|
| Perfect couples are breaking up… |
