A World Without Love
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
He 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
He may come, I know not when
When she 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

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