[Verse 1]
I crossed the driest desert
Just so that I came there to you
If I couldn't find you there
What in the world am I to do?

[Chorus]
'Cause I won't lie
And I won't deceive you
So can't we try
To make it just like what we dreamed?
Hm-mm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Devotion is my name
And I give myself to you, oh
In this crazy world of mine
Your inspiration gets me through

[Chorus]
So I won't lie
And I won't deceive you (I won't)
So can't we try (Can't we?)
To make it just like what we dreamed?
Hm-mm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
In this whole world, there's nothing I want more
Than to give you all that you desire
To make your world a little brighter
There is nothing that I would not do

[Bridge]
(Crazy world of mine)
'Cause you, you make me realize true love (Crazy world of mine)
And I, I will make sure that it lasts (Crazy world of mine)
Just by dedicating all my time (Crazy world of mine)
If you stay in this crazy world of mine (Crazy world of mine)
Come join this crazy world of mine (Crazy world of mine)
Come join this crazy world of mine (Crazy world of mine)
Come join this crazy world of mine (Crazy world of mine)
Come join this crazy world of mine

[Chorus]
So I won't lie (I love you, I love you)
And I won't deceive you (I won't deceive you, no)
So can't we try (Yes we can, I know we can, I know we can)
To make it just like what we dreamed? (Make it just like what we dreamed it)
Just like what we dreamed it, yeah

[Outro]
Now here's some loving for you, my darling
I'll give you all of my time
