What It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are what it is that makes the world go around for me.
You are what I need, you make me feel good about myself.
You see, I love you so much, I can never do without your touch, I'm like a busy honeybee
I'm always hungry for it, how could anyone ignore it, surely everybody will agree
That you are what it is that makes the cloud roll around the sky.
Oh yeah, you got what it takes, you make me proud to be who I am.
You see, I love you so much, I can never do without your touch, I'm like a busy honeybee
I'm always hungry for it, how could anyone ignore it, surely everybody must agree.
That you are what it is that makes the world go around for me
Yeah, you got what I need, you make me feel good about myself
Well, you are what it is that makes the world go around for me
Yeah, you got what I need, you make me feel good to be myself
You see, I love you so much, I can never do without your touch, I'm like a busy honeybee
I'm always hungry for it, how could anyone ignore it, surely everybody must agree
That you are what it is that makes the world go around for me.
You make the world go around for me,
Yeah, you make the world go around, world go around, world go around for me, you're what it is
