I can't believe all the games you played
You had it all and then threw it away
Maybe I'd still be your girl, huh
If we were living in a perfect world
C'mon, c'mon...

It's a thin line
Between reality and fantasy
You could've been mine
But it's over now
It wasn't meant to be
It's a hate crime (hate crime)
Anyone could see
The way you treated me
Do I look like I was born yesterday-ay-ay...
It could've wind up more, but I caught your play-ay-ay...

[Chorus:]
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world

Do you realize
That you had the best
And now you failed the test
You had the first prize (first prize)
And threw it all away
Now there's a price to pay
Look at my eyes (look at my eyes)
And you know it's coming
Before I close the door
The judge and jury have said it's true...
You're guilty of breaking my heart in two...

[Chorus:]
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world

Yeah in a perfect world
Living, living, living in a perfect world
Yeah if we were living in a perfect world

Too bad (too bad)
You're sorry now (now)
What goes around comes around (around)
Watch out as the rain comes falling down...
Yeh yeah, yeh yeah...

Do I look like I was born yesterday-ay-ay...
It could've wind up more, but I caught your play-ay-ay...

[Chorus:]
If we were living in a perfect world
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world

In a perfect world...

[Chorus:]
If we were living in a perfect world
(If we were living in a perfect world)
You would never disrespect your girl
You know better than to lie to me
(Don't lie to me)
You play your games but my eyes can see
If we were living in a fairy tale
And I was wishing at a wish and well
Maybe I'd still be your girl
If we were living in a perfect world
