(Hank Cochran - Joe Allison)

I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go, go,

I'd gladly beg, I'd steal, I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fears of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go, go.

I don't care what anybody thinks of me
(I know they're talkin' about my lovin' you the way I do)
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
(And they're sayin' that no one should love you
Not the way I love you.)

I want you and I need you that's all I know
(But I don't care if the world stops
The sun explodes or the moon turns to ashes)
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go, go.

(I'd stand and fight the world before I'd let you go)
Oh I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go.

Yes, I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go...
