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

Perfection...oh!

I was taught to be tough

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 as love

To make the love work out

You know this heart of mine

Has made some big mistakes

I guess that when it comes to love

I just don't know what I takes...

Chorus:

All my life I've been driven by perfection

Pushed it to the limit every day and night

Whoa...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 stays the same

When love is here today

And then it's gone today

You got a list of lovers lookin' like a resum?br> 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

(Chorus)

Oh, Perfection

You drive me crazy with perfection

I've worn my pride as my protection

I'm goin' crazy with perfection
