I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knees
I want you and I need you, that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd let you go

I'd gladly beg or steal or 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 you go

I know they are talking about me, loving you the way I do
And they are saying that no one could love you the way I do
But I don't care if the world stops as the moon turns to ashes
I'd stand and fight the world before I'd let you go

I'd gladly beg or steal or even 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 let you go
