Mary was a hard one to resist
Her hair was long and her lips were made to kiss
But something was missing somewhere
I let her go, I was searching for the perfect girl.

Julie was truly a dream come true
She called me baby and her eyes were wild and blue
But something was missing somewhere
I let her go, I was searching for the perfect girl.

And I wonder how many hearts will break, how many tears does it take
How many starry nights will go by, how many feelings are tossed aside
How many dreams will turn to dust searching for the perfect love
I was searching for the perfect love.

Finally met the one that set my soul on fire
She had everything that my heart could desire
She said, ''I hope you understand.''
She let me go, she was searching for the perfect man.

And I wonder how many hearts will break, how many tears does it take
How many starry nights will go by, how many feelings are tossed aside
How many dreams will turn to dust searching for the perfect love
I was searching for the perfect love.

How many hearts will break, how many tears does it take
How many starry nights will go by, how many feelings are tossed aside
How many dreams will turn to dust searching for the perfect love
I was searching for the perfect love...
