Don't shed a tear for me
No, it's not your style
If you're not here by me
Then it's not worth while
Chorus:
My world is our world
And this world is your world
and your world is my world
and my world is your world is mine
I've been crying
I'm lonely
What do I do to have you stay
I've needed you
to cry on
I've written you nearly ev'ry day
Chorus:
Don't shed a tear for me
that's not your style
if you're not here by me
then it's not worth while
Chorus:
No, it's not your style
If you're not here by me
Then it's not worth while
Chorus:
My world is our world
And this world is your world
and your world is my world
and my world is your world is mine
I've been crying
I'm lonely
What do I do to have you stay
I've needed you
to cry on
I've written you nearly ev'ry day
Chorus:
Don't shed a tear for me
that's not your style
if you're not here by me
then it's not worth while

My World - Bee Gees
Released in 1970, 'My World' stands as a quintessential example of the Bee Gees' early transition from soul-influenced harmonies to the polished pop sound that would define their later career. The track features the brothers' signature tight vocal arrangements and a driving rhythm section that foreshadowed the disco era to come. While often overshadowed by their massive 1977 hits, the song remains a testament to their ability to craft infectious melodies and lush harmonies. It captures the group's youthful energy and laid the groundwork for their subsequent dominance in the music industry, showcasing a style that blended R&B roots with emerging pop sensibilities.
