That World I Lived In
[Verse 1]
Trying to live in a world with no one but me, huh
I stayed apart from love, my heart was in the hands of misery, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
No one could see me because I live so far away, baby
(So far away)
No one could reach because I live in a world of yesterday, honey
But then your love persuaded me to run into your arms, baby
[Chorus]
You brought me outside
You brought me outside that world I lived in, baby, hoo
Oh, you brought me outside that world I lived in, honey
[Verse 2]
I don't know why I blame the world
I don't know why I blame the world for my unhappiness, darling, yeah
Others girls have tried, but none have filled my emptiness, baby, woo
[Pre-Chorus]
Afraid to love, it was my choice to be alone
Afraid to give, my heart, my heart would merely turn to stone
But then you made me know that I have been so, so wrong, baby
[Chorus]
You brought me outside, oh
You brought me outside that world I lived in, baby
I didn't wanna do it, but
Oh, you brought me outside that world I lived in, darling
Oh baby
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
Oh, I don't wanna do it, no
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
[Bridge]
One day you came along and you made
You made a vow to save me, baby
You kept your promise
Oh, I just, I just wanna thank you, baby
You showed me how, now I'm gonna love you, girl
Do you hear me?
[Outro]
You brought me
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
Ow, girl you brought me outside that world I lived in
I didn't wanna leave, ow
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
But you brought me outside that world I lived in
I wanna thank you, baby
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
Oh, I feel so good this evening, baby
You brought me out that world I lived in, baby
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
Oh, I ain't ever been on this level, baby
Only a world of unhappiness, darling, yeah
(You brought me outside that world I lived in)
