I don't want half-hearted love affairs,
I need someone who really cares
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself, I won't do that again.

refrain:
(It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it, yea
Too many people take second best,
but I won't take anything less,
it's got to be perfect.)

Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
they're much too eager to give their love away
well i have been foolish too many times
now i'm determined I'm going to get it right

refrain
