Perth is lucky that she's pretty Otherwise I'd hate that city The only place my heart's been torn in two Always worth the lengthy flight And sometimes the warm sleepless nights There's no such thing as coming back too soon A different situation I don't know When I have some more, the standard's low I still can't recover from the way you let me down I mean, you got a new girl, yeah, that's fine But I think about it all the time I resent the way you made me love your western town Perth is lucky that she's pretty Otherwise I'd hate that city Isolated from my eastern life Bands and bars on widened streets Where beaches meet the urban heat And people seem to be friendly and nice I know I should probably let it go But it's only now I finally know That you were only trouble looking for a place to stay Yeah, I got to visit somewhere new Now forever tainted with thoughts of you Didn't even get an inadvertent holiday Perth is lucky that she's pretty Otherwise I'd hate that city Hate this city, love this city Perth, you're lucky you're so pretty
