This whole wide world, lookin for a perfect man

When i was a little girl,
I would sit and dream,
Hopin' I would find,
find the perfect man
Now that i can see,
true reality
Tear drops fill my eyes,
cuz there is no Perfect man

It seems like everyone in this world is lookin for perfection
but how do we find something that doesn't exist?
that don't exist, know what I'm saying?
I would give my life for you, no matter what the situation
last days of hope, trials and tribulations
frustrations, killin every woman and man
if you can see what i see, then you might understand
that i
could never be a perfect man, up in this chaos
a soul, with a musical dream like armadias
I've given everything, sweat, blood 'n tears
and made a vow to the lord to stay for a million years
i guess too much is never enough,
when the silence in our souls begins to erupt
so forgive me girl, if i ruined your plan
cuz i can try, but never be a perfect man

When i was a little girl,
I would sit and dream,
Hopin' I would find,
find the perfect man
Now that i can see,
true reality
Tear drops fill my eyes,
cuz there is no Perfect man

11/98, god bless me with a perfect baby girl,
such in perfect world,
i cried when she took her first breath
why god? when the world is filled with hate and disease
most for overceaced, and when the catastrophes,
fall into this new millennium,
she'll be
one and a half, too young to understand
and lord know, this man and his lives aren't perfect,
mama states all her learnin' points
hopin she can learn form them
so many caught up
from the fast lane
lovers don'tsell creed, no lust
her little hand got
man, her little heart, holdin on my trust
I'm at awe with my destiny
i can't believe most every guy mets there___ face to face, you'll never
understand how much you've changed this man
who has to learn from scratch.
on how to raise my man
cuz if perfection is needed, i gaurentee to be the
everything she dreams

When i was a little girl,
I would sit and dream,
Hopin' I would find,
find the perfect man
Now that i can see, (yea)
true reality (this goes out ...to the girl i love)
Tear drops fill my eyes, ( i love you baby..best believe that)
cuz there is no Perfect man

there's been some time wit me, you were still shinin'
who'd imagine, it'd be you i'd be findin'
some one so real, who took care'my heart
anybody, if they'd try, couldn't' pull us apart
you were there from day one, til this present time
working hard for the money when i couldn't get mine
you should be the definition of what love really is
i know every man wish their girl was like this
i put you through some things,
best believe.that i'm sorry
my love goes out to you, no one fits your category
you don't' talk back, and respect what i say.
independent, strong woman
no time for child's play
determine what i got
and you still stick around
i'm not the perfect man
but for you, i'll bow down.
i wanna be your man til the lord takes us to the clouds.
ain't no perfect man, but perfect women are around........

When i was a little girl,
