World Without Love
Bobby Goldsboro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
And rain outside hide the moon
I'm OK, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Line by Line Meaning
Please lock me away
I want to be isolated from the world
And don't allow the day
And I don't want to see the light of day either
Here inside where I hide
I want to be left alone in this secluded place
With my loneliness
Because my only companion is my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I don't care about others' opinions
I won't stay in a world without love
I won't be able to live in a world without love and my loved one
Birds sing out of tune
Even the nature seems to be out of order without love
And rain outside hide the moon
The rain outside has made everything darker and gloomier
I'm OK, here I'll stay
But I am fine with staying here, alone
So I wait and in a while
I am patiently waiting for someone I love to come back
I will see my true love's smile
And I will be overjoyed once I see their smile
He may come, I know not when
I don't know when my loved one will arrive
When he does I lose
But when they leave again, I feel lost and sad
So baby until then
Until then, I want to be locked away with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
Even if others judge me for this, I don't mind
I won't stay in a world without love
As long as I have love, I will be able to survive and be happy

I played this a lot on my turntable, so I know this version. However, because I am listed as a Prince in several European countries & Royalty marries Royalty, so I got pushed into an arranged marriage, but when I had that marriage annulled, she burned many of my albums because I would not stay in a world without love. Thanks for the memories Nancy.
