[Verse 1]
If my house flowed down in the river
If all of these walls tumbled down in the storm
If this war took all of my money
All of my pride
But I'd never be poor

[Pre-Chorus]
As long as we got each other
There's nothing in the world that can steal my joy
Yeah, as long as we got each other
We can overcome the madness of the world

[Chorus]
'Cause people don't make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby, I know got you
Yeah, you keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
And if I know one thing's gonna be alright
Then I know that it's me and you

[Verse 2]
So they say we're running out of time
We're running out of water
We're running out of light
There are far too many problems
And just not enough answers
And if we keep on asking they’re gonna tell us what we like
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but as long as we got each other
There's nothing in the world that can steal my joy
As long as we got each other
We can overcome the madness of the world

[Bridge 1]
They can sell me a story
And tell me we're in danger
But our love will never die

[Chorus]
'Cause people don't make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
You keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered
From the six o'clock
Yeah you keep me sheltered, sheltered, sheltered, sheltered
Baby boy, but if I know one thing's gonna be alright
I know that I got my baby

[Bridge 2]
Like the birds that live in the sky
We’ll never have to worry
'Cause somehow we'll get by
As long as we’re together we can make it alright
But the world will love each other just like you and I
[Chorus]
'Cause people don't make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby, I know got you
You keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
And if I know one thing is gonna be alright
Then I know that's it's me and my beautiful baby
