[Verse One]
When I was a young girl
My mama said to me
"There's only one boy in the world for you
And he probably lives in Tahiti"

[Chorus]
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find him
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out
Where they hide him

[Verse Two]
Well, maybe he's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribbean Sea is blue
Weeping in the tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's talkin' 'bout you

[Chorus]
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole widе world
Just to find him
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go thе whole wide world
To find out
Where they hide him

[Verse Three]
Why am I hangin' around in the rain out here
Tryin' to pick up the girl
Why're my eyes crying all of these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world

[Verse Four]
Is he lyin' in a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Hidin' away in a heatwave there
Hopin' that I won't be long

[Verse Five]
I should be lyin' in that sun-soaked beach with him
Caressin' his warm brown skin
Then in a year
Or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin

[Chorus]
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find him
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out
Where they hide him
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find him
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out
Where they hide him
Ooh
