Perfect World

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
