lyrics

She was afraid so she wore a long coat
She had a braid, she choked around smoke
And the guy downstairs
overheard her when she said her prayers.

She lived alone but she wanted someone
She thought a lot of leaving Brooklyn
She didn't go to clubs
She didn't drink, she didn't get dressed up much

And she'd trade her life for mine
Trade it for a different kind
She's so kind, We're all the same
She's really perfect, the perfect girl... for love.

She didn't drive, she walked for supplies.
Now and then, she called a cab for a ride.
And on Friday night, she lit a candle and turned out the light.

Laying in the dark, she hears the traffic park.
There's no shame, we're all the same.
She's really perfect, the perfect girl... for love.

She's trade her life for mine
Trade it for a different kind.
She's so kind, we're all the same
She's really perfect, the perfect girl.... for love.
