🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If you can find it in your heart to just forgiveThen I’ll come back and live the way you wanted me to liveAll I want is you to be my girlLet me come and get you and take me to my world.I’ll take you to my world away from bar rooms filled with smokeWhere you won’t have to sell a drink or here another dirty jokeAll I want is you to be my girlSo please come with me let me take you to my world.I’ll take you to my world make you forget the things you’ve heardWhere people say I love you and love is not a dirty wordAll I want is you to be my girlSo please, come with me and I’ll take you to my world.
