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
