A World Without Love

 

I don't care what they say

I won't stay in a world without love

 

Please lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

 

Birds sing out of tune

And rain clouds hide the moon

I'm OK, here I stay with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

 

So I wait, and in a while

I will see my true love smile

She may come, I know not when

When she does, I'll lose

So baby until then

 

Lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

 

(Please lock me away)

(And don't allow the day)

(Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness)

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

 

So I wait, and in a while

I will see my true love smile

She may come, I know not when

When she does, I'll lose

So baby until then

 

Lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love

 

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

In a world without love (forget him)
