I'd Fight the World

I'd Fight the World - Esther Phillips

I don't care what anybody thinks of me

My pride is gone and here I am on banded knees

I want you and I need you that's all I know

And I'd fight the world before I'd let you go

I'd gladly beg or steal or borrow

I'd turn my back on everyone I know

I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow

I'd fight the world before I'd let you go

I know they are talking about me

Loving you the way I do up down

And they are saying

That no one could love you the way I do

But I don't care if the world stops

As the moon turns to ashes

I'd stand and fight the world before I'd let you go

I'd glad you beg or steal or even borrow

I'd turn my back on everyone I know

I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow

I'd fight the world before I let you go
