What in the World Lyrics


I can't deny the fact that I spend my time with you
But lately even little shit got me losin' my girp
And there's something we gotta do
Now either you stop going through my pockets late night
Gettin' caught up in what you might find
Baby I got love for you but I'ma have to fall back
Even though you usually spend the night
What in the world, what in the world are we doing?
Spending so much time, what is it girl
What in the world are we doing?
I guess all I know is that it's a beautiful thing to be loved
A beautiful thing to give love, this is a beautiful thing
But what in the world are we doing?
Sometimes you got me feeling like I got a personal angel
But I've learned from the past to keep my expectations low
'Cause don't you know what if feels like
When you put all your faith in someone and they bounce?
Then you know what you know about love

What in the world, what in the world are we doing?
Spending so much time, what is it girl
What in the world are we doing?
I guess all I know is that it's a beautiful thing to give love
A beautiful thing to get love, this is a beautiful thing
But what in the world are we doing?
Baby we need, think we need to take percautions
Sometimes we let our emotions get the best of us
Get to where we are, such a short time it seems
But what a long time indeed, it's been a minute with you baby
What in the world, what in the world are we doing?
Spending so much time, what is it girl
What in the world are we doing?
I guess all I know is that it's a beautiful thing to be loved
A beautiful thing to give love, this is a beautiful thing
But what in the world are we doing?
What in the world, what in the world are we doing?
Spending so much time, what is it girl
What in the world are we doing?
I guess all I know is that it's a beautiful thing to be loved
A beautiful thing to give love, this is a beautiful thing
But what in the world are we doing?
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
