White girl, in a perfect world / You'd trust in your lover

Will boys ever be boys again

Blonde boy, in a perfect world you'd / Know if you loved her

Will girls ever be girls again



Black boy, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding

Still you're perfect cause you love / Your girl

Black girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be no demanding

Still you're perfect cause you love / Your man

It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis

We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution



In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast

They go bump to bump / In the perfect world

For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl

They go bump to bump / In the perfect world



Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya

And everyone would understand

White boy, in a perfect world you'd / Need no protection

And love would still be something / In heart



White girl, in a perfect world there'd / Be understanding

And boys would be boys again

Black girl, in a perfect world you'd know / That I love ya

And everyone would understand



It don't make no difference/ Boys of London girls of Memphis

We are all a revolution / In this jaded institution



In the New York Times / To the L.A. coast

They go bump to bump / In the perfect world

For the perfect boy / And the perfect girl

They go bump to bump / In the perfect world
