Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When these girls are all over the world Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun? Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her
