The World Is Over
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a girl just the other day.
With a pink umbrella in the pouring rain.
Make up running all down her face.
Tears in the rain are such a waste.

She said; "The world is over"
I can't believe its true.
How can it all be over when I am not over you?

[Chorus]
They say it's over. What am I gonna do?
I'm not ready to get over you.

Staring at the ceiling, laying in bed.
Heard it on the radio, the D.J. said.
"Stars are falling from the sky."
Well don't get stardust in your eye!

He said; "The world is over".
I can't believe it's true.
How can it all be over when I am not over you?

[Chorus]

I know the world is ending.
I'm telling you it's true.
There ain't no use pretending,
I'll ever get over you.

[Chorus]

I saw a girl just the other day.
With a pink umbrella in the pouring rain.
Make up running all down her face.
Tears in the rain are such a waste.

She said; "The world is over"
I can't believe its true.
How can it all be over when I am not over you?





[Chorus x3]
