Lyrics
The world is a girl that I can't do without
The world is a girl and I want to take her out
I want to ask her for her name
But you know what she will say
(She'll tell you that her name is Mira,
But don't be fooled)
She is the world - she is a girl
The world is a girl, the world is a girl
I want to meet her where no one can see us
Behind a silver cloud floatin' 'round Jupiter (or Venus)
I want to give to her my secret
I want to let her know my truth
But it's all in vain - she already knows everything
She is the world - she is a girl
The world is a girl, the world is a girl
The world is a girl and I can't figure her out
One day she's so quiet,
The next day she wants to shout
I don't know what to think
From one day unto the next
(Mother World got a rocky marriage I guess)
She is the world - she is a girl
The world is a girl, the world is a girl
