I wish I
Could do better by
You, 'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice
So much of your life
In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry
A piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate strings of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
Oooh...
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
I wish I
Could do better by
You, 'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice
So much of your life
In order for this to work
While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
And sailing around the world (around the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl
And when you cry
A piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
And fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
Ohh...
But you don't ask for no diamond rings (diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (string of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
I get so distracted
By some people's reactions
I don't see my own faults
For what they are.
