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
