All I ever wanted was to get away and spend some time alone
Yeah
To a big house In the country
To a private yacht with wall street on the phone
And in a million dollar paradise
Maybe I could sing a better song
But I've found something different now
And I finally understand
That money gets you everywhere
But it slips straight through your hands

This is love that makes the world go round
And it's nationwide from town to town
It's got me coming up and going down
And it makes everything alright
Yeah

I'd give you what I got
And that's a start
Oh yeah
To get next to you
And the keys to your heart

There's something going on here
There's something going on behind your eyes
Yeah
You got me feeling kind of nervous
With that Mona Lisa smile
And maybe I could get a steady job
Bring home the bacon nine to five
See I'd do anything to win ya
Anything at all
I got my cards down on the table baby
We could have a ball !

This is love that makes the world go round
And it's nationwide from town to town
It's got me coming up and going down
And it makes everything alright
Yeah!

I'd give you what I got
And that's a start
Oh Yeah
To get next to you
And the keys to your heart

You may not think that I'm your type
But baby you're my cup of tea
You got me going round in circles
Thinking to myself
I can't visualize the future
With anybody else (no way!)

(There was a time when I believed
That I’d be okay living by myself
Then I laid eyes on you
And I believe that I became somebody else
Now I believe!)

It's love that makes the world go round
And it's nationwide from town to town
It's got me coming up and going down
And it makes everything alright
Yeah!

I'd give you what I got
And that's a start
Oh Yeah!
To get next to you
And the keys to your heart
Believe me!
To get next to you
And the keys to your heart
