[Verse 1: Wreckless Eric]
When I was a young boy, my mama 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 in a tropical, moonlit night because nobody's told about you

[Chorus: Wreckless Eric]
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!

[Verse 2: Wreckless Eric]
Why am I hangin' around in the rain out here, tryin' to pick up a girl?
Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears, when there's girls all over the world?
Or is she lyin' on a tropical beach somewhere, underneath the tropical sun?
Hiding away in a heat-wave there, hoping that I won't be long
I should be lyin' on that sun-soaked beach with her, caressing her warm, brown skin
And at the end of the year, or maybe not quite, we'll be sharing the same next-of-kin

[Chorus: Wreckless Eric]
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!!
