Lyrics The World Tonight - Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne

The World Tonight

I saw you sitting at the center of a circle.
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
I saw you sitting there
I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music.
Caught you playing, praying to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there
I don’t care what you wanna be I go back too far;
I’m in front of me!
It doesn’t matter what they say
They’re giving the game away
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future.
See it in a different light.
I can see the world tonight
I heard you listening to a secret conversation.
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in Never mind what they wanna do You’ve got a right to your point of view
It doesn’t matter what they say
They’re giving the game away — hey — hey.
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi.
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you.
I saw you hiding there
I don’t care what you wanna be I go back so far, I’m in front of me!
It doesn’t matter what they say
They’re giving the game away — hey — hey
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
I can see the world tonight
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
