Lyrics of The world has it's shine (but i would drop it on a dime)

I'm not one for love songs
The way i'm livin' makes you feel
Like giving up but you don't
And i want everything for you

My disappointment
'cos you've been left behind
And the world has it's shine
I would drop it on a dime for you

Hey oh, and whatever it takes
Hey oh, i'm gonna make my way home
Hey oh, we can turn our backs on the past
And start over

Not long ago, i gave up hope, but you came along
You gave me something i could hold onto
Oh, and i want you
Oh, more than you could ever know

Before i met you, i used to dream you up
And make you up in my mind
Oh, and all i ever wanted was to be understood
You've been the only one who could
I could never turn my back on you

Hey oh, and whatever it takes
Hey oh, i'm gonna make my way home
Hey oh, we can turn our backs on the past
And start over

Not long ago, i gave up hope
But you came along, you gave me
Something i could hold onto
Oh, and i want you
Oh, more than you could ever know
More than you could ever know, it's true

Not long ago, i gave up hope, but you came along
Gave me something i could hold onto, oh

Not long ago, i gave up hope, but you came along
You gave me something i could hold onto
Oh, and i want you
Oh, more than you could ever know
