Whole Wide World (Wreckless Eric cover) Lyrics

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in this world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I'll go the whole wide world
I'll go the whole wide world just to find her

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's talking 'bout you

I'll go the whole wide world
I'll go the whole wide world just to find her
I'll go the whole wide world
I'll go the whole wide world to find out where they hide her
I'll go the whole wide world
I'll go the whole wide world just to find her
Hey
Hey

Am I hanging around in the rain right here
Trying to pick up a girl?
Well are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When this girl's all over the world?
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in the heat wave there
Hoping that I won't be long?
I should be lying on that sun sweat beach with her
Caressing her worn down skin
And then in a year, or maybe not, why,
We'll be sharing the same next of kin

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

Shake Me Down

Back Against The Wall

In One Ear

Cigarette Daydreams

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in this world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I'll go the whole wide world
I'll go the whole wide world just to find her

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean sea is blue
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's talking 'bout you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
