Lyrics

Album

Nick:
I don't know what he does to make you cry,
But I'll be there to make you smile.
I don't have a fancy car,
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles.

Brian:
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart? I don't know,
But if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart.
But my love is all

BSB:
(I have to give)

Brian:
Without you I don't

BSB:
(Think I can live)

Brian:
I wish I could give the world to you

BSB:
(But love is all I have to give)

Howie:
When you talk

BSB:
(When you talk)

Howie:
Does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away

A.J.:
Does he leave...

BSB:
(Does he leave...)

A.J.:
When you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please, I'm on my knees
Praying for the...

BSB:
...day that you'll be mine

But my love is (all I have to give)

Without you I don't

I wish I could give the world to you
