Lyrics
MY BABY WAS BORN
AROUND ELEVEN
AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE
AS I WAS LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN
I SAID
DON'T BE AFRAID
'CAUSE ONE DAY YOU ARE GONNA BE MINE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT A CIRCUS
A RACE FOR LOVE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, MY BABE
TO BE LOVED
AND DON'T HESITATE
'CAUSE IT'S NEVER TOO LATE
BABE, THERE WILL BE A SIGN - YEAH
THE DAY WE'LL MEET AGAIN ALL THE STARS WILL SHINE
I SAID
DON'T YOU BE AFRAID
BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU ARE GONNA BE MINE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT A CIRCUS HONEY
A RACE FOR LOVE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, MY BABE
TO BE LOVED
I SAID DON'T YOU BE AFRAID
'CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
TO BE LOVED
IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT A CIRCUS HONEY
A RACE FOR LOVE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, MY BABE
TO BE LOVED
OH NO NO NO
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, MY BABE
'CAUSE YOU'RE PERFECT
THE WAY YOU ARE
THE WAY YOU ARE
