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
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
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
