When i was a young boy
my mama said to me
there's only one girl in the world for you
and she probably lives in tahiti
I go the whole wide world
just to find her
i go the whole wide world
just to find her
(just to find her)
yeah...
Well, maybe she's in the bahamas
where the caribbean sea is blue
weeping in a tropical moonlit night
because nobody's thought about you
Why am i hanging around in the rain out here?
trying to pick up a girl
why am my eyes filling up with these lonely tears?
when there are girls all over the world
I go the whole wide world
just to find her
i go the whole wide world
just to find her
(just to find her)
Ou est tu?
Well is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
underneath a tropical sun
finding her way in a heat wave there
hoping that i won't be long?
I should be lying on a sunset 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 go the whole wide world
just to find her
Ou est tu?
where are you?
i'm waiting
i'm weeping
i'm waiting
