Every Man Wants the World Lyrics

Looking over the sky tonight

Grey clouds muster in my eyes

It's Christmas night and I'm still alone

The family upstairs on the western throne

Your pain is real and nothing I can say

Will ever take that heartache away

You put your trust in him and he betrayed you

I tell you it's not the only way to play it

Such a beautiful way

It's a beautiful way

To spend my time with you

It could've been beautiful

If we could just hang on

And everyman wants the world

Every woman wants him in her home

Yeah but his deep dark secret

His dirty desire for control

Driving to work and filling petrol tanks

And you fly over and lose a lover you need to thank

You say it's meant to be but meant to be is hard for me to see

You seen the policeman running down the street

Such a beautiful way

It's a beautiful way

To spend my time with you

It could've been beautiful

If we could just let go

And everyman wants the world

Every woman wants him in her home (In her home)

But his deep dark secret

His dirty desire for control

Kept him from her love ambition, you know

Her love ambition, you know

Love ambition, you know, it's got to go

Running to the airport chasing after you

My deepest fear is someone else at home with you

Hey hey yeah, and there's my old mistake, waiting patiently

I should've wanted you instead I got the world

And everyman wants the world

Every woman wants him in her home (In her home)

But his deep dark secret

His dirty desire for control, yeah

Yeah I wanted the world, and you wanted me at home

(you wanted me at, you wanted me at home)

Oh I'm sorry baby but my deep desire for control

Kept me from your love ambition for me

Your love ambition for us

Your love ambition, I know

You want the show
