Used to be more careful with our words
Tender with our love that's how it was at first
But time can do a number on a heart
I guess that's why so many fall apart

We're a little less than perfect
That should come as no surprise
But it's easy to forget it
When the stars are in your eyes
God knows, we're only human after all
But we pick each other up if we should fall

A little short of love
A little short of love

Tell me, have we really changed so much?
Or is it we just started losing touch?
I look at you and I remember when
We promised, we would always try again

We're a little less than perfect
That should come as no surprise
But it's easy to forget it
When the stars are in your eyes
God knows, we're only human after all
But we pick each other up if we should fall

A little short of love
A little short of love
A little short of love
