Whole Wide World

When i was a young boy my momma she said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
Or maybe she's in the bahamas
Where the caribbean sea is blue
Weeping away in the tropical night

Because nobody's told her about you
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
Why am i hanging around in the rain out here

Trying to think of a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world
Or is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneat the tropical sun
Hiding away in the heat wave there
Hoping that i won't be long
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
Well be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Yeah
