Don’t Want The World Lyrics

[Intro]
Love
I don't want the world
I want you

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
One-man band, walk to my own drum
Call me self-centred, but it takes one to know one
Guess I had a one-track mind from the start
Tryna make these songs, get better at my craft
Get up on the charts, maybe get a couple plaques
And, in the process, might break a couple hearts
It's part of the game though [?] told me
But things change, and I'm not the old me
Learned a few tricks of the trade
Learnt that I don't wanna be alone at the end of the day
Had to hit you on the phone every time I was awake
Can't do it on my own, really need for you to stay
Know you hear me say it a lot
I'm busy doin' this, that and the third to make it to the top
Seems to never expire, but for you
I'd drop it all in a sec' 'cause there is none higher

[Chorus]
Pull the rug from underneath me
Take away all that I made
Feel like all I need is you for me
To see another day
Pull the rug from underneath me
Take away all I possess
Feel like all I need is you
All I need is you, 'cause I
Know you see
That the boy got big dreams
You might think that the only
Thing I serve is me
But I hang up my boots
Make a promise to you
'Cause the truth is I don't
Want the world, I want you
[Verse 2]
Yeah
It don't come around often, something like this
See, I think about the old me, there's nothing I miss

Sure, I had a good time along the way
Ain't livin' for the past though, I'm livin' for today
Tryna make the best tomorrow I can for me and you
And tomorrow's all good if I'm seein' you
Nah, I'm never leavin' you behind, little bit of fame
Couldn't keep you from my mind, different time zones
Still, you keep me on the line
, checking out Whatsapp
Sleep in my eyes, so don't be surprised
If I show up by your side tryna talk about some plans
Get on one knee, hope you offer up your hand
Tryna make you understand, I put nothin' above you
Nowadays, you're the person I look up to
World full of noise, I'm just tryna cut through
They can take it all, but I'm not givin' up you

[Chorus]
Pull the rug from underneath me
Take away all that I made
Feel like all I need is you for me
To see another day
Pull the rug from underneath me
Take away all I possess
Feel like all I need is you
All I need is you, 'cause I
Know you see
That the boy got big dreams
You might think that the only
Thing I serve is me
But I hang up my boots
Make a promise to you
'Cause the truth is I don't
Want the world, I want you
(I just want you, baby)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
