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...
