Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Well, I know what it is
But I don't know where it is, where it is
Well, I know where it is
But I don't know what it looks like, what it looks like
Well, I know what it looks like
But I don't know where she comes from
Well, I know where she comes from
But I don't know what's her name
[Chorus]
And she said, "This is a perfect world
I'm riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine"
[Refrain]
Mmm-mmm
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
[Verse 2]
And I've been walkin', talkin'
Believin' the things that are true
And I've been findin'
Difference between right and wrong, bad and good
See me put things together
Put them back where they belong
When I look at each other
Have I always been singing the same song?
[Chorus]
She said, "This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine"
[Refrain]
I-I-I-I
Hoo, ah-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha
[Verse 3]
Somebody said that it happens all over the world
I do believe that it's true
And the sun's comin' up
And we're doin' all the things that we should, ah-ah-ah
Doesn't everybody here believe in the things that we do? Ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
And she said, "This is a perfect world
Riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine"
[Refrain]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oowee
Mmm, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
[Verse 4]
Hey, it's a strange situation
Ooh, what's wrong with you?
Hey, baby, baby, baby
What ya doin' in my house?
Ha, ha-ha-hey
I said, it's all true
Hey, hey, hey
There's nothin' wrong with you
[Chorus]
And I said, "This is a perfect world
I'm riding on an incline
I'm staring in your face
You'll photograph mine"
