No Such Thing - Tommy Shaw

No such thing… no such thing

You’re waiting for the lightning to strike you from the sky

You’re waiting for th fireworks on the Fourth Of July

But sure as there’s a moon in the heavens up above

There’s no such thing as the perfect love

You read Harlequin Romances and True Life Magazines

You’re the young and you’re the restless

You relate to every scene

I tried to tell you once but I guess it’s not enough

There’s no such thing as the perfect love

Baby what you want from me come and take it

But never give your heart for free 'cause I’ll break it

Yeah I’ll break it

You’re still listening for the footsteps

You sit there by the phone

Staring at your posters aren’t you tired of being alone

You may think you’re trying but it isn’t hard enough

There’s no such thing as the perfect love

There’s a time and a place for this

You gotta be there

If you sit around and wait for love it’ll get you nowhere

Nowhere!

Love can really break your heart if you let it

If you’re looking for the perfect love just forget it

Forget it!

Baby you’re so precious you’re living out a dream

I’m scared that when you wake up you’ll look around and scream

'Cause life is no illusion, it really is so tough

There’s no such thing as the perfect love
