Hush little Baby, gotta be strong
`Cause in this world we are born to fight...

Be the best, prove them wrong
A winner`s work is never done...

Reach the top, number one
Perfection...

Oh, perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I`ve worn my pride as my protection
Perfection...oh!

I was taught to be tough
The best that you can be ain`t enough
Crack the whip, sacrifice
But I found out paradise had a price
I didn`t know it then
But oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard as love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Has made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don`t know what I takes...

Chorus:
All my life I`ve been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Whoa...I`ve been driven by perfection
But nothing`s perfect when love ain`t right
Nothing`s perfect when love ain`t right...

Gave it all
Played my part
I gave everything I had but my heart
Worked so hard
Made a name
But the loneliness inside stays the same
When love is here today
And then it`s gone today
You got a list of lovers lookin` like a resum?br> You gotta take some time
To make it something real
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don`t know how to feel

(Chorus)

Oh, Perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I`ve worn my pride as my protection
I`m goin` crazy with perfection
