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
