[Verse 1]
I've never been a thief, but I won't say I'll never steal
I've never been a star, but that doesn't mean I don't appeal
I always read the bible, but too seldom do I kneel
Well I disregard the writing and I play just what I feel

[Verse 2]
So what do I care?
Why should I care?
All I really want is something more than you can order
From a telephone, if they call I'm not at home
So write it off as another loss
And let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone

[Verse 3]
I've been a truthful man, but I won't say I've never lied
I've always had a plan, but somehow it never was applied
Never got my share of lovin', I've always been denied
I ain't greedy, but I aim to take what rightfully is mine

[Verse 4]
All I really want is something that I do not have to share
Hide it under lock and key so they'll never see
Or they'll never know
And let someone else be responsible
And let the world leave me alone

[Bridge]
People try to tell me I'm a dreamer
Wastin' everybody else's time
Movin' all around I'm just a schemer
Gettin' into everybody's way

[Outro]
Let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone
World leave me alone

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
