I'd Fight The World

(Album: "Detroit City" And Other Hits - 1963)

I don't care what anybody thinks of me
For my pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
I only know I need you and I love you so
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go.

I'd gladly beg or steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd let go go.

Yes, I've heard 'em talking
About me loving you like I do
And they are saying things like none should love anyone
As much as I love you.

But I don't care if the world stops
And the sun explodes or the moon turns to ashes
I'd gladly stand and fight the world
Before I'd let you go.

I'd gladly beg or steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd let go go...
