Wreckless Eric - Whole Wide World lyrics

rate me

When I was a young boy,

my mother said to me,

"There's only girl in the world for you,

she probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas,

where the Caribbean Sea is blue.

Weeping in a tropical moonlit night because

nobody's told her 'bout you.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here

trying to pick up a girl?

Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears

when there's girls all over the world?

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere

underneath a tropical sun?

Pining away in a heatwave there

hoping that I won't be long.

I should be on that sun soaked beach with her,

caressing her warm brown skin.

And then in a year or maybe not quite we'll be

sharing the same next of kin.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world just to find her.

I'd go the whole wide world

I'd go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her.

Yeah!
