Love makes the world go round
But the world is slowing down
It's such a stormy place
Standing
I'll shake the ground
Gonna take a look around
Then I saw your face, oh

Since I met you
It's such a perfect world
What a boy and girl can't find
What they need to do for a life of love
Such a perfect world
It's mine
It's a perfect world

I had to spread the news
I finally got my dancing shoes
Now I realized
Just take a different view
Just comes shining down on you
Let's open up our eyes

Since I met you
It's such a perfect world
What a boy and girl can't find
What they need to do for a life of love
Such a perfect world
It's mine
It's a perfect world

Sunshine and flowers
Ain't nothing gonna stop the way we feel
We've got the power
Yes, we do

Love makes the world go round
Love turned you upside down
Love across a million miles
No chance I won't take
When my feet are on the brake
With you here by my side

Since I met you
It's such a perfect world
What a boy and girl can't find
What they need to do for a life of love
Such a perfect world
It's mine
It's a perfect world

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
