I Want the World to Know Lyrics
It feels like, it feels like when you're in a dream state.
Like when you wanna run, but you can't.
When you wanna scream, but you can't.
When you wanna love, but there's nobody in front of you yet.
And then you're alone, and in a moment of clarity, you know what it is you're missing.
I, I, I spin around and let my arms dangle, my feet tangle;
I bump my head and hit the ground...
I dial your number, but my finger's shakin', my cake's bakin';
I'm sick of ricochetin' around...
What if I blurt out "I love you"?
(No, I won't, no, I won't...)
Baby, I got to be cool...
I wanna jump in a pool of you,
and go splash, splash, splashin' around...
I want the world to know;
It doesn't matter if you don't...
I want the world (I love you!) to know;
No, it don't matter if you don't...
I, I, I...
I try and tell ya but my tongue swells up, my tears well up;
I think I'm allergic to ya, babe...
Somebody help, I'm having trouble breathin' - this food I'm eatin'
Is 'bout to come up the other way...
What if I blurt out "I love you"? [I love you.]
(No, I won't, no, I won't...)
Baby, I got to be cool...
I wanna tell you how much you mean to me;
Baby, I got to tell you... Baby, I got to tell you...
I want the world to know;
It doesn't matter if you don't...
I want the world (I love you!) to know;
No, it don't matter if you don't...
This feelin', this feelin's like a dagger in my stomach;
Gotta keep it a secret - Can I tell it?
Baby, let's get under the covers... (Baby, let's get under the covers...)
Ooh, no, no, no, there ain't no other... (Ooh, no, no, no, there ain't no other...)
I want the world to know... (I want the world... to know...)
It doesn't matter if you don't... (No, no, no, no, no, no, no...)
I want the world to know; (I want the world... to know...)
No, it don't matter if you don't...
Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me?
Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me? (I want the world, I want the world...)
Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me? (No I don't, no I don't...)
[Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me?]
Every little love that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Every little thing that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Baby, everything that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Every little thing that you... you, you, you, you...
Like when you wanna run, but you can't.
When you wanna scream, but you can't.
When you wanna love, but there's nobody in front of you yet.
And then you're alone, and in a moment of clarity, you know what it is you're missing.
I bump my head and hit the ground...
I dial your number, but my finger's shakin', my cake's bakin';
I'm sick of ricochetin' around...
(No, I won't, no, I won't...)
Baby, I got to be cool...
I wanna jump in a pool of you,
and go splash, splash, splashin' around...
It doesn't matter if you don't...
I want the world (I love you!) to know;
No, it don't matter if you don't...
I try and tell ya but my tongue swells up, my tears well up;
I think I'm allergic to ya, babe...
Somebody help, I'm having trouble breathin' - this food I'm eatin'
Is 'bout to come up the other way...
(No, I won't, no, I won't...)
Baby, I got to be cool...
I wanna tell you how much you mean to me;
Baby, I got to tell you... Baby, I got to tell you...
It doesn't matter if you don't...
I want the world (I love you!) to know;
No, it don't matter if you don't...
Gotta keep it a secret - Can I tell it?
Baby, let's get under the covers... (Baby, let's get under the covers...)
Ooh, no, no, no, there ain't no other... (Ooh, no, no, no, there ain't no other...)
It doesn't matter if you don't... (No, no, no, no, no, no, no...)
I want the world to know; (I want the world... to know...)
No, it don't matter if you don't...
Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me? (I want the world, I want the world...)
Wouldn't it be lovely if you could love me? (No I don't, no I don't...)
Every little love that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Every little thing that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Baby, everything that you need... (I got it, if you got it...)
Every little thing that you... you, you, you, you...

Well, this song is amazing, so I wish I wasn't the first person to write about it. From what I understand, this song is about being hopelessly in love with somebody, but not being able to tell them. You're always nervous around them, you can't get the words out right. From what I understand, it's a lot more a crush than a relationship, because she thinks it would be lovely if he could love her. I think it's like she is in love with the idea of this wonderful guy, but she's afraid to make a move. But she's so in love that she is telling just about everybody but him.
