Share My World
DeBarge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, la-la-la
Won't you share my world
Ooh, won't you share my world
Won't you share my world

Don't just stand around and say
I've made your life complete
And how I make you feel each day
Whenever our lips meet

You say you really love me so
Don't hesitate
To come and share my world
Please won't you share it

I gave you all the love I had
And gladly give you more
Love has found a way for us
To walk right through the door

And everlasting love
That's made for you and me
And it's reality
Can't you see

You've placed a seed love in me
And made it grow each day
And now it blooms a fruit of love for you
And if you really love me, yes, the way that I love you
Won't you please share my world

I want you
I need you to share my world
Share my world
Life can be so beautiful

I want you
I need you to share my world
Share my world
Baby, baby, won't you share my world, world

The sun puts on a smile for two
Every time we meet
And all that life has brought us through
It never will compete
With all the happiness we share together
If you share my world
Please won't you share my world
Please won't you share my world

I love you
I need you to share my world (Share my world)
Share my world
Life can be so beautiful (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I want you (I want you)
I need you to share my world (I need you in my life)
Share my world (To share my world)
Life can be so beautiful (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I want you
I need you to share my world {Won't you share my world}
Share my world {Share}
Baby, baby, won't you share my world

'Cause in my heart (In my heart)
You play a very, very, very big part
So won't you share my world (I must share your world, baby)
Share it, share it, share it

Share, share
Share my world, babe
Woo...ooh... (Mmm...hmm...)

I want you (Want you)
Need you (Need you)
Got to have you (Got to have you, baby)
Got to have you, baby (Oh...ho...oh...)

Be with me
Be by my side
Oh, baby, I want you in my life
Whoa, share my world

Share my world (Share my world)
Share my world (Share my world)
Share my world (Whoa)
Share my world (Oh...yeah...), oh...oh...oh...

I want you
I need you to share my world
Share my world
Life can be so beautiful

I want you




I need you to share my world
Share my world

One of the most underrated songs in R&B.. This is a classic!!

James Flores

Back in the day as a DJ I was blessed to be able to play this song for many couples; young and old. The beauty of watching that love blossom on the dance floor while supplying the music was truly a blessing.

Thanks for posting! DeBarge will always be one of the best R&B groups in history! They don't make good slow jams like this anymore!

This brings back memories. Pure and simple, simple and pure. This was the song that I shared with a very special woman back in the day and brings back so many memories in such a vivid way.. It's amazing how music can do that. Thanks for posting this.

I remember listening to this song when I was 9 years old (1981). While I didn't understand the love the sang of, I was in awe with both lead and background harmonies! This was, is, and always will be my favorite Debarge tune. It still pains me to see how grossly mismanaged/misrepresented they were. Their story is truly a musical travesty!

Saalihasmom

Tears! This family was beyond talent...

Nina513

How epic is this song? I mean it sounds so refreshing even after all of these years...Real music!
