[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
If this world were mine
I'd place at your feet all that I own
You've been so good to me
If this world were mine
Said if this world were mine (If this world were mine)
I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees
Girl, your love beside me would be all I need
[Chorus]
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything, ooh baby
I'd give you anything
Oh
[Verse 2]
If this world were mine and I were a king
With wealth untold, you could have everything
If this world were mine, baby (Said)
Ooh, if this world were mine (If this world were mine)
I'd give you each day so sunny and blue
You wanted the moonlight, I'd get you that too
[Chorus]
If this world were mine
I'd give you anything, ooh baby, yeah
I'd give you anything, anything, anything your heart desires
[Bridge]
Girl, you're my consolation (Oh yeah)
So without hesitation (Oh yeah)
When you want me, honey, just call me, call me
(When you want me, just call me, baby)
Oh now, you're my inspiration (Oh yeah)
I feel so much sensation (Oh yeah)
When I'm in your arms and you squeeze me, squeeze me
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, the sky will be blue
Long as I'm loved by you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, here in your arms, baby
Life is so wonderful
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, give me plenty loving, baby
Give me plenty loving, honey
Keep on loving me, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now give me plenty loving, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Come on, give me plenty loving, honey, ooh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Keep on loving me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ooh yeah, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, I want you too (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I hope that you (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Give me plenty loving, come on and (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Give me plenty loving, honey (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't you (Keep on lovin' me)

Ooh yeah, baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, come on and (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
