Lyrics

A serial dater, baby
You know it's true
You didn't even waste no time
You're a habitual heartbreaker
I should've never even looked at you
But you're so fine

I would've given the world to you
Anything you wanted babe
I would've given the world to you
Just reach out and point it, babe
I would've given the world to you
Anything you wanted, babe
I would've given the world to you

A part-time lover, baby
That's what you are
I never meant to hurt you, Lady
Show me your scars
I'm sick of this emotional rollercoaster
You put me on
I live to fight another day
Cause you pushed me away

When I would give the world to you
Darlin, don't you know I would
I would've given the world to you
Darlin' don't you know I would
I would've given the world to you
You better know I would
Baby don't you know I would
I would've given the world to you
Oh
I would've given the world to you
I would've given the world to you
I would've given the world to you
I would've given the world to you
