Lyrics I Wish I’d Written: If This World Were Mine by Luther Vandross

Updated: Dec 30, 2020

*one of my favorite duets of all time*


If This World Were Mine


If this world were mine, I'd place at your feet

All that I own; you've been so good to me

If this world were mine

I'd give you the flowers, the birds and the bees

For with your love inside me, that would be all I need

If this world were mine

I'd give you anything


If this world were mine, I'd make you a king

With wealth untold, you could have anything

If this world were mine

I'd give you each day so sunny and blue

If you wanted the moonlight, I'd give you that too

If this world were mine

I'd give you anything


Oh baby, you're my consolation

And there's no hesitation

When you want me, honey, just call me


And honey, you're my inspiration

I feel so much sensation

When I'm in your arms, when you squeeze me


And the sky would be blue

As long as you're lovin' me


With you here in my arms

Life is so wonderful


Give me pretty lovin', baby

Give me pretty lovin', honey

Keep on lovin' me

You know I need you, baby

Really, really need you, baby
