[Verse 1]

I dreamt of a real man

I met him in a sweet July

I was happy when it began

I thought I was gonna fly

But love changed into routine

I cleaned, cooked and thereby

My love died at five-fifteen

When I called to say goodbye


[Pre-Chorus]

How to find a perfect man?

Oh, how to find a perfect man, who’ll love me?

Oh, how to find a perfect man?


[Chorus]

I become wise

Become wise

Become wise

I know it

I’ll find you

In my eyes

We'll realize

I want it ​


[Verse 2]

But things went from bad to worse

I met a guy who played a flut

He was cute. Oh, what a curse

Inside he was a rotten fruit


[Pre-Chorus]

How to find a perfect man?

Oh, how to find a perfect man who’ll love me?

Oh, how to find a perfect man?

Wisdom of life


[Chorus]

I become wise

Become wise

Become wise

I know it

I’ll find you

In my eyes

We'll realize

I want it


[Chorus]

I become wise

Become wise

Become wise

I know it

I’ll find you

In my eyes

We'll realize

I want it ​


[Bridge]

Unfailing but boring, self-affected

Perfect man

Too crazy but clever, big-hearted

Perfect man

Ambitious but selfish and so greedy

Perfect man

Magnetic or repulsive, uh

Perfect man

That's all

I’m done with it


[Chorus]

I become wise

Become wise

Become wise

I know it

I’ll find you

In my eyes

We'll realize

I want it ​


[Chorus]

I become wise

Become wise

Become wise

I know it

I’ll find you

In my eyes

We'll realize

I want it ​
