Lyrics
I'D RATHER BE IN IRELAND, HIKING IN THE RAIN
PAINTING SCENES IN PARIS OR CHASING BULLS IN SPAIN
I'D RATHER BE IN BALI, LYING ON THE SAND
READING CHEESY NOVELS WITH A MAI TAI IN MY HAND
ALL THESE PLACES SOUND REALLY COOL
BUT IT'S WISHFUL THINKING
I'M SUCH A FOOL
'CAUSE I'D BE NO ONE
I'D BE NOTHING TOO
I'D BE NOWHERE WITHOUT YOU
IT'S SNOWED SIXTEEN INCHES IN CENTRAL PARK TODAY
DOWN UNDER IT'S STILL SUMMER, WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT 'TIL MAY
I'LL BUY THE WINNING TICKET IN THE LOTTERY TONIGHT
THEN TRAVEL 'ROUND THE WORLD ON A 1ST-CLASS AIRLINE FLIGHT
ALL THESE PLACES
SOUND REALLY COOL
BUT WHO NEEDS THEM
WHAT WOULD I DO
'CAUSE I'D BE NO ONE
I'D BE NOTHING TOO
I'D BE NOWHERE WITHOUT YOU
LET'S PRETEND WE'RE ON VACATION
CALL IN SICK TODAY
SLEEP IN AND ORDER TAKE-OUT
AS IF WE'RE ON AN EXOTIC HOLIDAY
SO FORGET ALL THIS DREAMING 'BOUT WHERE I'D RATHER BE
'CAUSE EVERYTHING I'M NEEDING IS RIGHT HERE NEXT TO ME
LOTS OF PLACES
SOUND REALLY COOL
BUT THEY DON'T MAKE ME
FEEL THE WAY YOU DO
I'D BE NO ONE
I'D BE NOTHING TOO
I'D BE NOWHERE WITHOUT YOU
I'D BE NOWHERE WITHOUT YOU
WITHOUT YOU
