Whole Wide World

(album: Liar Liar Pants On Fire - 1994)

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you
She probably lives in Tahiti
Go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her"

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue
Hiding away in a heatwave, there
'Cause no-one's told her about you

Go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
Oh, yeah!

Why am I pining out in the rain down here
Just trying to pick up a girl?
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world?
I should be lying on a tropical beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
Dead in a year, or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next-of-kin

Go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Aw, yeah
Oh, yeah
