Around The World and Back


Look, there is no reason
for you to believe a word I say..
but what the hell
I'll say it anyway...

I need something short of a miracle to
make you change your mind,
and it's a shame I had to see you with
someone else to find....

How much I need you back...
I blew a good thing..../

Girl,
I've been around the world and back
but every single girl I met just lacked
oh my oh
your simple qualities...

Honey,
I've been from Rome to Timbuktu
and never found anyone quite like you...
Don't know what I'm gonna do..
without you../

Girl..
there's no secret about the late hours I keep...
Seems like I am not able to get any sleep
Sure wish you'd come back to me...
Come back to me../


Look, I know that you've heard this all before..
but look into my eyes..
and I'll tell you this once more..
I was a fool to ever let you go..
I was halfway through Europe
before I came to know..
How much you meant to me..
Look in my eyes
baby can't you see?


Girl,
I've been around the world and back
but every single girl I met just lacked
oh my oh
your simple qualities...

Honey,
I've been from Rome to Timbuktu
and never found anyone quite like you...
Don't know what I'm gonna do..
without you../

I've been to Africa, Asia and Austrailia too...
I might as well have been on the moon...
just couldn't find no one
to take the place of you.../
