The Perfect Guy

I closed the door behind me
And wiped the tears away from my eyes
I didn't want to look back
And hear another word of your lies

My heart was in a million pieces
And my trust could never be repaired
Every time you used to walk past
I remember I always stared

I don't know why I ever loved you
Or why wanted to call you my own
I don't know why I spent my days
Waiting by the telephone

I knew you'd never call
Even though you said you would
I didn't want to leave you
But I knew I really should

So this is why I dumped you
And why I now had a broken heart
I thought that without you
My life would fall apart

For the few minutes without you
I've felt incomplete
But I know I have my perfect guy
That some day I will meet

He won't put me down
Or lie to me when he says he'll call
And when I'm having difficulty
He'll help me up when I fall

You were never there for me
And took someone else's side in a fight
But with my perfect guy
It wouldn't matter who's wrong or right

Because with him I'd never fight
Because with each other we’d feel so cheerful
If we had each other
Then we'd never have to be fearful

Life wouldn't feel so tough sometimes
And I'll only need him around
I'll have to wait for that day
Till my perfect guy can be found

Until that day I'll stand at this window
And watch everything that you do
Because you're my perfect guy
And I know that that is true
