Give You the World
Steve Lacy Lyrics

Baby, I want a chance
I desire a chance to be close to you.

To get you closer next to me
I want to be near you.

Said, girl, I'll be patient and slow
I am willing to take my time and wait for you.

'Cause I got time, shit, maybe forever
I am willing to wait for you as long as it takes; I have a lot of patience.

You're so fickle and cold
You tend to change your mind a lot and seem distant.

But you feel so electric
Despite your coldness, you give off a powerful energy and I am attracted to you.

Tell me, what I gotta do?
What do I need to do to get closer to you?

To move a little closer to you
What can I do to be next to you?

If you want me to
I will do what you ask of me.

I'll share my heart
I am willing to open up and show you how I feel.

I'm not anxious
I am not nervous about what the future holds.

I'll tell the truth
I promise to always be honest with you.

You know, if you feel about the same way, yeah
If you feel the same way, we can be together.

I'd feel so out my mind, could be dangerous
Being with you would be intense and exciting, even a bit risky.

We'll fall (we'll fall, I'd fall)
We will fall in love with each other.

But I'll give you the world
I am willing to do everything in my power to make you happy.

I'll give you the world now, now
I promise to start doing everything I can for you right away.

Here we are togethering
We are spending time together.

In love, in the sun, yeah
We are in the sunshine and in love.

And rain, so many cloudy days
We have also had our share of difficult times.

To keep us inside
Bad weather sometimes keeps us indoors.

Ooh, babe, I'm 'bout to cave in
I am close to giving in.

Filling up inside, I'm filling with doubts
I am feeling anxious and uncertain about our relationship.

But I don't want a fuss
I do not want to argue with you.

You pushed and I tugged
We have had our disagreements in the past.

I'm so scary
I can be easily frightened or intimidated.

But I'm not so tough
Despite being scared, I am not weak.

You know, I had to want it bad
I really wanted to be with you.

The feeling that was warm, ooh, whoa, whoa
The feeling of being in love was comforting.

Baby, it's gone, it died
Unfortunately, that warm feeling is gone now, and it is upsetting.

But I gave you the world
Even though our love may have faded, I still did everything I could for you.

I gave you the world
I did everything in my power to make you happy.

World, oh

Please, I don't want hate
I do not want to have negative feelings toward you.

Instead I'm gonna love you like you were new
I am going to try and love you with the same intensity I did when we first met.

And when I love you on your own
I will do everything in my power to show you how much I love you.

You'll miss me, goodbye, ooh
When I am gone, you will realize how much you missed me and how important I was to you.

Oh, oh, ooh, oh
