World Without Love
Gordon Peter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please 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
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, 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
She may come, I know not when
When she 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
She may come, I know not when
When she 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





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 disconnected from the world


And don't allow the day
I don't want to see daylight


Here inside where I hide
I prefer to be hidden and isolated


With my loneliness
Because being alone is better than living in a world without love


I don't care what they say I won't stay
I don't value other people's opinions because for me a world without love is not worth staying in


In a world without love
Where affection towards others is nonexistent


Birds sing out of tune
The harmony of nature is out of balance without love


And rain clouds hide the moon
Negative emotions block out the beauty of life


I'm okay, here I'll stay
I can accept my lonely existence


So I wait and in a while
I keep hoping for a bright future


I will see my true love's smile
The prospect of being with someone who truly loves me gives me hope


She may come, I know not when
I don't know when love will arrive in my life


When she does I lose
I'm willing to give up my current state of solitude for love


So baby until then
But until that time comes


In a world without love
Where the purity of human connection is lacking


I don't care what they say I won't stay
I'll continue to reject this world without love


Lock me away
I'd rather be imprisoned privately in my own mind


And don't allow the day
Than to face the harsh reality that life without love presents.


Here inside where I hide
The only place where I feel safe is within my own mind


With my loneliness
Although a painful reality, it's still better to be alone than in a world without love

Paul McCartney gave his girlfriend's brother a No 1 hit song in the UK. None of my sister's boyfriends got me anything.
