lyrics

So easy for you to say you care,
So much more difficult for me to say the same,
When you whisper, The words don’t ever leave,
They fall so softly, I can almost believe you.

So please tell me that you need me,
That I am worth my weight in gold,
And in the sunlight of the morning,
I’ll be standing on top of the world.

I know we’re different, You seem so secure,
I stand here nervously, I feel so unsure,
Your kiss feels pleasant, Yeah I like your warmth,
Like a birthday present, It’s more than all I’m worth.

And you can tell me that you need me,
That I am worth my weight in gold,
But how do I know in the sunlight of the morning,
The story of my life will not have been sold.

You see I’ve seen chances slip, And I have cursed my luck,
Felt it going wrong, And then I’ve watched it come unstuck,
So I can’t be sure…

So I’ll roll off home now, Go my other way,
A few hours contentment, Keeps me going for another day,
And if you tell me, I’m worth my weight in gold,
I’ll be standing, On top of the world.
