Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr.

Harry Connick, Jr.

My Little World

People work their lives

Only to retire

Husbands and wives

Have nothing to aspire to

When they grow old

Nines and fives

Bonds and stocks

No one thrives

On punching clocks

And so it’s told

I’ve panned my gold

My little world is much to me

The flirts, the foreplay

The flaunts

You couldn’t give away for free

A world nobody wants

Nothing amazing, new or proud

The life I’ve chosen to lead

No trace of silver on my cloud

No pedigree, no breed

And even though it’s sad

Even though it’s beautiful

It can only be mine

It can only be mine

My little world is commonplace

Important people would say

But all the lines upon my face

Are quite a price to pay

Fr a little world that could only be

A world that belongs to only me

Take it fellas!

My little world is commonplace

Important people would say

But all the lines upon my face

Are quite a price to pay

Fr a little world that could only be

A world that belongs to only me
