Lyrics

[Chorus]
What in the world were you born to do?
What in the world were you born to do?
Beat me and tease me, I'll take the abuse
'Cause I know that I was born to love you
[Verse 1]
(Hey, yeah)
You're so electric
(Hey, yeah)
And I'm on fire
(Hey, yeah)
'Til it burns me
(Hey, yeah)
I don't know why
[PreChorus]
It feels like home in your eyes
And we'll stare alone until we try
[Chorus]
What in the world were you born to do?
What in the world were you born to do?
Beat me and tease me, I'll take the abuse
'Cause I know that I was born to love you
[Verse 2]
(Hey, yeah)
(Hey, yeah)
(Hey, yeah)
These roads I take
(Hey, yeah)
All lead to you
(Hey, yeah)
Can't find the exit
(Hey, yeah)
Just let me through
[PreChorus]
It feels like home in your eyes
And we'll stare alone until we try
[Chorus]
What in the world were you born to do?
What in the world were you born to do?
The price that I'm paying 'cause I don't see the truth
It's wrong that you're gone, you're all I had to lose
[Bridge]
When the dust starts to settle
Coating your beauty
Now I can see inside
Listen to love songs
Sound unconvincing
'Cause they're not mine
[Instrumental]
What in the world were you born to do?
What in the world were you born to do?
Beat me and tease me, I'll take the abuse
'Cause I know that I was born to love you
Yeah, I know that I was born to love you
