Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you want your money, girl

'Cause you do this every day, okay

The way you doubt your feelings

And look the other way

[Verse 2]

Well, it's something I relate to

Your gift of nonchalance

But nobody's ever made me fall in love

With this amount of touch, well

[Verse 3]

I'm not a fool

I just love that you're dead inside (That you're dead inside)

I'm not a fool

I'm just lifeless, too

[Verse 4]

But you taught me how to feel

When nobody ever would (When nobody ever would)

And you taught me how to love

When nobody ever could

[Verse 5]

Ooh, girl (Oh, babe)

I know I should leave you

And learn to mistreat you

'Cause you belong to the world (Oh, baby)

[Verse 6]

And ooh, girl (Oh, baby)

I want to embrace you (Oh, baby)

Domesticate you

But you belong to the world

You belong to the world

[Verse 7]

And I know that I'm saying too much

Even though I'd rather hold my tongue, yeah

And I'll pull you closer, holding on to

Every moment till my time is done, yeah

[Verse 8]

And this ain't right

You've been the only one to make me smile

In so long

I've succumb to what I've become, baby

[Verse 9]

I'm not a fool (I'm not, not a fool)

I just love that you're dead inside (That you're dead inside)

I'm not a fool (Oh, no)

I'm just lifeless, too (I'm just lifeless, too)

[Verse 10]

But you taught me how to feel (You taught me how to feel)

When nobody ever would (No, nobody ever would)

And you taught me how to love (You taught me how to love)

When nobody ever could (Oh, babe, oh)

[Verse 11]

Ooh, girl (Oh, babe)

I know I should leave you (I know I should leave you)

And learn to mistreat you (And learn to mistreat you)

'Cause you belong to the world

[Verse 12]

And ooh, girl (Oh, baby)

I want to embrace you (I want to embrace you)

Domesticate you (Domesticate you)

But you belong to the world

You belong to the world

You belong to the world

[Verse 13]

You belong to the loneliness of filling every need

Oh, no, you belong to the world

You belong to the world

You belong to the temporary moments of a dream

[Verse 14]

Ooh, girl, I know I should leave you

And learn to mistreat you

'Cause you belong to the world

[Verse 15]

And ooh, girl, I want to embrace you

Domesticate you

But you belong to the world

You belong to the world

[Verse 16]

You belong to the world

You belong to the world

You belong to the world
