Lyrics
Come what made, I have you today And I don't want no more I don't want tomorrow Its promises, oh, its ache 'Cause what's this world without you in it? You make me feel just like I'm a little kid What's this world got without your spark? You make me feel so black and alive By doin' nothing, I noticed something I don't want no more And I've always wanted more Of just about everything But what's this world without you in it? You make me feel just like we're some little kids What's this life like without, without your spark? You make me feel so black and alive
