Watching yourself standing at the crossroads
Look over your shoulder while the other guy reloads
It seems only human to want out
Weighing all the options when you just wanna scream
But you freak into a calm cause you gotta pick a team
And you play their way until you get to shout
All the perfect girls of pop
They bat their eyelashes a lot
And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly
Like they never been hurt before
Like they never had their heart slammed in a door
They sing sweetly, they sing sweetly
Winning and losing and everything between
Spinning in circles like a big machine
And working up a quiet inner rage
Til a rhythm and beat come in your head
And it goes right under something you said
And you wake up wondering if you are okay
All the perfect girls of pop
They bat their eyelashes a lot
And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly
Like they never been hurt before
Like they never had their heart slammed in a door
They sang sweetly, they sing sweetly
Safe and cold’s a mighty resonator
Just because I think about her don’t mean I hate her
I don’t believe her fire keeps you warm
If you think too much it’s the land of indecision
If you don’t think enough it’s the imprecision
I guess I just don’t understand the form
All the perfect girls of pop
They bat their eyelashes a lot
And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly
They sang sweetly, they sing sweetly
