The Wallflowers - Whole Wide World lyrics

When I was a young boy Mama she said to me: There's only one girl in the world for you But she probably lives in Tahiti I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world just to find her Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Caribbean Sea is blue Weeping away on a tropical night Because nobody's told her 'bout you I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world just to find her Why am I hanging around 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? Well is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere? Underneath the tropical sun Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I, that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her caressing her soft, her soft 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 Go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world Go the whole wide world just to find her
