No Such Thing

Oh, I swear
No such thing
No such thing
I say
No such thing
Say, yeah
No such thing

You're waiting for the lightning
To strike you from the sky
You're waiting for the fireworks
On the Fourth of July
But sure as there's a moon in the heavens up above
There's no such thing as the perfect love

You read Harlequin romances
And True Life magazines
You're the Young and you're the Restless
You relate to every scene
I tried to tell you once, but I guess it's not enough
There's no such thing as the perfect love

Baby, what you want from me? Come and take it
But never give your heart for free, 'cause I'll break it
Yeah, I'll break it

You're still listening for the footsteps
You sit there by the phone
Staring at your posters
Aren't you tired of being alone?
You may think you're trying, but it isn't hard enough
There's no such thing as the perfect love

Oh!
No such thing
Oh, oh
No such thing

Oh, oh, there ain't
No such thing
Oh!
No such thing

There's a time and place for this; you gotta be there
If you sit around and wait for love, it'll get you nowhere
Nowhere!

Love can really break your heart if you let it
If you're looking for the perfect love, just forget it
Forget it!

Baby, you're so precious
You're living on a dream
I'm scared that when you wake up
You'll look around and scream
'Cause life is no illusion, it really is so tough
There's no such thing as the perfect love

Oh!
No such thing
As the perfect love
No such thing

Ooh!
No such thing
Oh, oh, ahh!
No such thing

Oh!
No such thing
It ain't nowhere baby
No such thing

As the perfect love
No such thing
Ah, ha, ha
No such thing

Yeah!
No such thing
No, it's nowhere, baby
No such thing

As the perfect, as the perfect
No such thing
You can't buy it, oh!
No such thing

Hey!
No such thing
So, yeah, now baby
No such thing

You can look for it
No such thing
But it's nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, ah!
No such thing
