lirik lagu gareth richards - third world girl

i want to say i love you, but i don’t have the right words
to say that i don’t care that you were born in the third world
i love the way you look, i love your hair, i love your eyes
it doesn’t bother me that you’re from somewhere uncivilised

sorry, i don’t mean uncivilised, it’s just you don’t have the stuff
that someone from round here would need to feel they had enough
i’ve seen people on the telly in the squalor and the flies
but if you get used to it, i’m sure it’s really nice

i don’t know if you’re from somewhere that has clean drinking water
i don’t know how many cows to offer your father for his daughter
but of all the girls i’ve met, you are the one that i’ve preferred
i want to say i love you, but i don’t have the right words

my third~world girl
i’d cross the world to see you
i just want to be near you
you’re worth the world to me
even though you’re
from somewhere really poor
to me, you’re worth much more
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
i want to say i love you but i don’t know the right words
i’m sometimes inappropriate but it’s just based on things i’ve heard
like what’s it like to live somewhere with really dangerous animals?
if someone’s really nice to you, are you scared they might be a cannibal?

i’ve always tried to help to understand and to show kindness
i did a bring~and~buy sale to help combat river blindness
i always feel real guilty when i throw out excess food
but sending leftovers to oxfam seems impractical and rude

i’m scared of saying something that will make your feelings fade
i’m trying to avoid subjects like famine, war and aids
i know my economic understanding’s not too deep
but how come there are people starving
when everything’s so cheap?

my third~world girl
i’d cross the world to see you
i just want to be near you
you’re worth the world to me
even though you’re
from somewhere really poor
to me, you’re worth much more
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
i want to say i love you but i don’t have the right words
to keep everything i’ve got but to lose you would be absurd
we can’t let the gap between rich and poor keep us apart
you can share my ipod if you’ll give me your heart

i know that it’s not just that your leaders are corrupt
i know that our colonies and greed have f~cked you up
but i need you to trust me now that i won’t do the same
we’ll take on all our history if you will take my name

i will happily walk around with no shoes upon my feet
i’ll come live somewhere where it’s unsafe to walk the street
i’ll promise to be with you till the end, monsoon or shine
even though your life expectancy is much lower than mine

my third~world girl
before i came to see you
i was grateful not to be you
now you’re worth the world to me
even though you’re
from somewhere really poor
to me, you’re worth much more
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
you’re worth the world to me
because of you, my love
my life will never be the same
i hope you know this song’s for you
‘cos i can’t pr~nounce your name
