You had to take the time

Cos you had to make up your mind

You really didn't want to choose

But you had too much to lose



They tried to change your mind

Told you how to live your life

And they told stories

Stories that shouldn't be told



It was you against the world

But you chose to hold on to your girl

You gotta believe that she's the one

worth fighting for



Forget about the world

And worry about the girl

Not what they say

Not what they say your future holds for you

Forget about the world

And worry about the girl

Not what they say

Not what they say your future holds for you



Had problems in the past

There's no use in looking back

The future holds so much for you

Go to the light and pass on through



You had a stronger love

Outside forces weren't enough

Tried their best to tear apart

A love they hoped would never last



So they tried to change your mind

Told you how to live your life

And they told stories

Stories that shouldn't be told



It was you against the world . . .

Forget about the world. . .



You gotta hold on to what you want

What you've been fighting for

You gotta believe in it - hold on



Until you can fight no more

You gotta hold on

And you will see

See your destiny

Then you will know

Which way to go



Forget about the world.
