Whole, wide, world
There's a man outside
And he's screaming that the elephants
Are trampling,trampling, his father in his sleep
There's a girl outside
And she's screaming that the worlds on fire
On fire today
There's a man inside
And he's screaming for his noon time pills
At nine AM
And there's a girl outside
Who's screaming at the whole wide world
One hair at a time
I'm trying so hard
To keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world today
Love me
Against the whole wide world, cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my world
There's a man inside
And he's screaming that his father
Was never there
There's a girl outside
And she's screaming at the whole wide world
One day at a time
There's a boy inside
And he's holding a picture
Unto his head
There's a girl outside
Who's screaming that the worlds on fire
On fire today
I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world today
Love me
Against the whole wide world
Cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my world
Whole wide world wide world wide world wide (x4)
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world today
Love me
Against the whole wide world
Cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my world
The worlds on fire (x7)
The worlds on fire...today
Whitfield was produced by Dave Fortman.
