Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything,
To have you be mine.
I'd give the stars above,
And all my love,
How can you be so blind?
So blind?
All the time,
For you,
Yes it's true.
[Chorus]
If you only knew,
That I'm crazy for you,
Then you'd understand.
If I only knew,
What you're goin' through,
Then I'd understand.
Now I know that I,
Have no chance,
Oh to make you mine.
If I ruled the world,
Would you be my girl,
How can you be so blind?
So blind?
I'm going out of my mind,
All the time,
For you,
Yes it's true.
[Chorus]
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
