(This time it's gonna be perfect...) I don't want half-hearted love affairs I need someone who really cares Life is too short to play silly games I promise myself I won't do that again [REFRAIN I:] It's got to be perfect It's got to be worth it Too many people take second best But I won't take anything less It's got to be perfect [REFRAIN II:] Young hearts are foolish They make such mistakes They're much too eager to give their love away Well I've been foolish too many times Now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right [Repeat Refrain I] [CODA:] (It's got to be...) You better think about it It's got to be perfect, yeah yeah (It's got...) The kind that will stand the test of time, yeah (Too many...) But I won't take anything less (It's got to be perfect) [Repeat Refrain I and II] [Repeat Coda] It's got to be perfect It's got to be perfect It's got to be perfect
