(A Tragic Waste Of) Perfectly Good Love Lyrics

Somebody give a reason, I wanna know for sure.
I said give me a reason because I don't know anymore.
Somebody give me permission to do what I'm trying to do
Yeah I think I need permission to say these things to you.

Is this ‽that perfect feeling†or some semblance thereof?
Or is this another tragic waste of perfectly good love?
I just need a reason in case push comes to shove.
So tell me is this another tragic waste of perfectly good love?

Somebody give me a reason to bother with this song.
Somebody give me a reason. Somebody sing along.

You find it hard to distinguish what's fake and true.
When you're the only one not laughing it means the joke's on you.

Is this ‽that perfect feeling†or some semblance thereof?
Or is this another tragic waste of perfectly good love?
I just need a reason in case push comes to shove.
So tell me is this another tragic waste of perfectly good love?
