Whole Wide World Lyrics

Whole Wide World lyrics

When I was a young boy

My mama said to me

There's only one girl in
the world for you

And 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 Carribean 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

Find out where they hide 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're girls all
over the world



Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere

Underneath the tropical sun

Pining away in a heatwave there

Hoping that I won't be long



I should be lying 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

Find out where they hide her
