There's a girl standin' on a corner Watchin' love walk right out her door She thought that love was like a shiny diamond Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours Wishin' he would change his mind Caught in that paradox of feelin's Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine Love is a perfect imperfection Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad Whenever love comes your direction Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide You know that there's no reason for you to be alone Just 'cause love's treason, broke, broke you, happy home How can you celebrate when all you feel is sufferin' heartache I'm goin' down to that lonely corner Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet Wish I could walk, walk right up to her And tell her what I know of love What I know, it always so sweet Love is a perfect imperfection Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad Whenever love comes your direction Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide Love is a perfect imperfection Sometimes a happy, sometimes sad Whenever love comes your direction Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide Don't you hide
