[Intro] Ooooh… yeah… My girl… [Lead] You know sometimes I wish I could give you everything… But if all I’ve got is this heart— It’s yours. [Verse 1] I don’t need a mansion on the hillside, Don’t need diamonds shining in the light. Long as I can wake up there beside you, Girl, I know I’m living right. You’ve been there when I had nothing, Before the better days came through. So if somebody asks me what I’m living for— Girl, I’m living it with you. [Pre-Chorus] You never asked me for the moon, Never needed fancy things. But if I could reach into the heavens, You know what I would bring… [Chorus] [Lead] If I had the world, I’d give it to you, girl. [Background] Give it all to you… [Lead] Every mountain, every ocean, Every diamond, every pearl. Ooooh, my love… If I had the stars, I’d put ’em in your hands. But all I’ve really got is this heart and who I am. [Background] That’s all I need… [Lead] So if I had the world… I’d give it to you, girl. [Verse 2] We’ve had days when money wasn’t easy, Had some nights when life got hard. But you never measured what I gave you By the money or the cars. You could’ve gone looking for somebody Who could promise you the finer things. But you stayed right here beside me, And girl… That means everything. [Pre-Chorus] So now whatever life may bring us, There’s one thing you should know: Everything I have is ours, And anywhere you are is home. [Chorus] If I had the world, I’d give it to you, girl. [Background] Give it all away… [Lead] Every sunrise, every sunset, Every treasure in this world. If I had forever, I’d spend my days with you. ’Cause after everything we’ve been through, There’s nobody else I’d choose. If I had the world… I’d give it to you, girl. [Bridge — Strip to Bass & Guitar] [Lead] Maybe I can’t buy you the moon… [Female background] I don’t need the moon… [Lead] Maybe I can’t give you every star… [Female background] I just need your heart… [Lead] Maybe I don’t own the whole world… No, no… But when you’re lying here beside me— Girl… Sometimes it feels like I do. [Instrumental Break] Clean guitar solo over bass and organ. [Female harmonies] Ooooh… My love… Forever… [Final Chorus] [Lead] If I had the world, I’d give it to you, girl! [Background] Give it to me, baby… [Lead] I’d give you every morning, Every night, Every piece of this life. If I had a thousand lifetimes, [Background] I’d still choose you… [Lead] I’d spend every one with you. ’Cause the greatest thing this world ever gave me— Wasn’t something I could buy. It was you. [Outro] [Lead] If I had the world… [Background] The whole wide world… [Lead] I’d give it to you. Ooooh… But since I don’t… I’ll give you something better. My heart. My time. My life. [Lead + Background] If I had the world… [Lead] I’d give it to you, girl. Every time. Every time….
