Everything I Own
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
You sheltered me from harm.
You kept me warm
You kept me warm
And you gave my life to me
You set me free,
You set me free
Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you
I would give everything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to cry
I don't know why, just don't know why
You told those lies to me
You set me free, set me free
Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you
I would give everything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
Just to hold you once again.
If there's someone you know,
That wont let you go,
And is taking it all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And you don't hear a word they say
I would give everything I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
