If This World Were Mine (with Cheryl Lynn) Lyrics

If this world were mine
I would place at your feet
All that I own
You've been so good to me
If this world were mine

I'd give the flowers the birds and the bees
And it'd be your love beside me
That would be all I need
If this world were mine
I'd give anything

If this world were mine
I would make you a king
With wealth untold
You could have anything
If this world were mine

I'd give your each day so sunny and blue
And if you wanted the moonlight
I'd give you that too
If this world were mine, oh, baby
I'd give you anything

Oh, baby, you're my inspiration
And there's no hesitation
When you want me
Honey, just call me, oh

Oh, baby, your are my consolation
And I feel so much sensation
When I'm in your arms
When you squeeze me

Oh, the way that you do
Oh... the way that you love me, boy
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, the way that you do
Ooh, the way that you love me

Oh... oh... every sky will be blue
As long as your loving me, baby (Ooh...)
Whoa... whoa... ho...
When I'm in your arms
Life is so wonderful, my love

Oh... oh... give me pretty lovin', baby
Give me pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me, baby
Whoa... oh... oh...
You know I need you, honey
You know I need you, baby
Keep on loving me

Lovin' me the way (The way) you do (You do, oh)
My love
I love the way that you, the way that you love me, baby
Oh... and I don't wanna let you go, wanna let you, wanna let you go, my love, no
I love the way, the way that you love me, baby
Mmm... ooh...
You know (Woo... hoo...)
The world, the world would be yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah... hea... (Mmm... hmm...)
Yes, it would (Yes, it would)
The world would be yours (Yeah)
Baby (Baby)
Ooh... hoo...
It would be yours
If you'll believe

Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005), New York City, NY, was an American Soul and RnB singer whose career spanned four decades.

In the 70s, he worked as a backing singer Chic and for David Bowie (on the Young Americans album). He later found success as a solo artist with Superstar and A House is not a Home.

In the 80s, Vandross was a vocalist on early Change singles (Searching), whilst continuing his solo career with such releases as "Never too Much", "Power Of Love/Love Power", "If only for One Night", "Here and Now".

In the 90s, he was more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey (amongst others), than for his solo work.

It was an ongoing battle with his weight that may have ultimately proved his undoing. He suffered a stroke in 2003, from which he never really recovered, and died in 2005.

During his career, he sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times. He won four Grammy awards in 2004, including the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the track "Dance With My Father," co-written with Richard Marx.
