Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If this world were mine, I would place at your feet
All that I own, you been so good to me
If this world were mine
[Verse 2]
I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees
And the old inside me, that would be all I need
If this would were mine
I'd give you anything
[Verse 3]
If this world were mine, I would make you a king
With wealth untold, you could have anything
If this world were mine
[Verse 4]
I'd give you each day, so sunny and blue
And if you wanted the moonlight, I'd give you that too
If this world were mine, no, be there
I'd give you anything
[Verse 5]
Oh, baby, you're my inspiration
And there's no hesitation
When you want me, honey, just call me
No, baby, you are my consolation
And I feel so much sensation
When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me
[Verse 6]
Yeah, the way that you do, yeah
Oh, the way that you love me more
Oh yeah, oh yeah, the way that you do
Ooh, the way that you love me
[Verse 7]
Oh, every sky would be blue, as long as you're
Lovin' me, baby, oh
When I'm here in your arms
Life is so wonderful, my love
[Verse 8]
Oh, gimme pretty lovin', baby
Gimme pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me
Baby, whoa
[Verse 9]
You know I need ya, honey
You know I need you, baby
Keep on lovin' me, yeah
[Verse 10]
Lovin' me the way  you do (The way you do)
My love
I love the way that you, the way that you love me, baby
Oh, and I don't wanna let you go, don't wanna let you go, my love
(The way, the way that you love me, baby)
(Ooh, ooh) you know the world, the world would be
[Verse 11]
Yours, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yes it would (Yes, it would)
The world would be yours
[Verse 12]
Baby, ooh (Baby)
It would be yours
If you believe
