Whole wide worldThere's a man outside and he's screaming
That the elephants are trampling
Trampling his father in his sleep
There's a girl outside and she's screaming
That the world's on fire, on fire todayThere's a man inside and he's screaming
For his noon time pills at nine A.M.
There's a girl outside who's screaming
At the whole wide world, one hair at a timeI'm trying so hard to keep my eyes still
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world todayLove me
Against the whole wide world
'Cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my worldThere's a man inside and he's screaming
His father was never there
There's a girl outside who's screaming
At the whole wide world, one hair at a timeThere's a boy inside and he's holding
A picture unto his head
There's a girl outside who's scratch
And the blood's on fire, on fire todayI'm trying so hard to keep my head still
Against the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world todayLove me
Against the whole wide world
'Cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my worldWhole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide
Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide
Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wide
Whole wide, world wide, world wide, world wideAgainst the whole wide world
To make her love me
Whitfield was my world todayLove me
Against the whole wide world
'Cause she won't love me
Whitfield was my worldThe world's on fire
