Lyrics

To the teller down at the bankYou’re just another checkin’ accountTo the plumber that came todayYou’re just another house
At the airport ticket counterYou’re just another fareAt the beauty shop at the mallWell you’re just another head of hair
That’s alright, that’s okYou don’t feel important, honeyAll I’ve got to say is to the worldYou may be just another girlBut to meBaby, you are the world
To the waiter at the restaurantYou’re just another tipTo the guy at the ice cream shopYou’re just another dip
When you can’t get reservations‘Cause you don’t have the cloutOr you didn’t get an invitation‘Cause somebody left you out
That’s alright, that’s okWhen you don’t feel important honey all l’ve got to say isTo the worldYou may be just another girlBut to meBaby, you are the world
You think you’re one of millionsBut you’re one in a million to meWhen you wonder if you matter, babyLook into my eyesAnd tell me, can’t you seeYou’re everything to me
That’s alright, that’s okWhen you don’t feel important honeyAll I’ve gotta say is to the worldYou may be just another girlBut to meBaby, you are the world
