Perfect Couples

I know some friends of mine Think about them all the time Why can't my life be like that I've seen them in the park Restauranting after dark Working out on their yoga mats Stars of the young dance hall crowd Married young, took their vows Comfort in their boldness and their flair Dab hands for all to see Stroke of brush and poetry His cut of cloth, the contours of her hair Thank you for the invite tonight Perfect snacklets, perfect drinks I'm getting ideas from your interiors Perfect apartments, perfect kids Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done Those perfect couples are breaking up What have they done Don't make me feel so good Expect that stuff in Hollywood Not in my current milieu Sexual tension at the fridge He makes for the organic figs Belmondo lips, dangling a cig And she, just back from her hike And to the gallery she might glide by With a basket on her bike They've got issues too But what can you do Bad times They'll always see them through It always lurked in their mind Perfect couples are breaking up What have they done In the back of her mind Perfect couples, they keep breaking up What have I done It always lurked in his mind Those perfect couples Are now breaking up What have they done In the back of their minds Perfect couples, they keep breaking up What have I done Never happy with my girl Jealous of a different world Suddenly the years slip away What am I waiting for I see those perfect couples and I What makes me close the door I see those perfect couples Why can't I be like them I admire the most Finding fault with my heart It's always been the same and then And always back to the start What makes me get in the fray Then just throw it away Yeah, I throw it away Yes I throw it away only to find Yes I throw it away only to find Perfect couples are breaking up
