Bee Gees

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Robin Gibb]
Don't shed a tear for me
No, it's not your style
If you're not here by me
Then it's not worth while

[Chorus: Robin & Barry Gibb]
My world is our world
And this world is your world
And your world is my world
And my world is your world is mine

[Post-Chorus: Robin Gibb]
I've been crying, I'm lonely
What do I do to have you stay?
I've pleaded you to cry on
I've written to you nearly every day

[Chorus]
My world is our world
And this world is your world
And your world is my world
And my world is your world is mine

[Verse 1: Barry Gibb]
Don't shed a tear for me
No, that's not your style
If you're not here by me
Then it's not worth while
[Chorus]
My world is our world
And this world is your world
And your world is my world
And my world is your world is mine

[Post-Chorus]
I've been crying, I'm lonely
What do I do to have you stay?
I've pleaded you to cry on
I've written to you nearly every day

[Chorus]x3
My world is our world
And this world is your world
And your world is my world
And my world is your world is mineEmbed

If you're a fan of Bee Gees, then you must have heard of "My World," a classic 70s pop song with an upbeat rhythm that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Despite being a non-album single, it quickly became a massive hit and was included on later compilation albums. The song is well-known for its similarity to the Bee Gees' hit single "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart."

About My World

"My World" by Bee Gees is a classic pop track produced in January 1972 as a non-album single. The song was a massive hit and rose to the top of the charts in the UK and US, prompting its inclusion in the famous "Best of Bee Gees, Vol.2" compilation album released a year later. Barry Gibb stated that the song followed similar musical ideas to "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," which was released about a year earlier.

The initial inspiration for the song came from Robin Gibb and the other members, who came up with it during a television show in downtown Birmingham, England, called "Golden Shot." The band members were surprised by the song's immense popularity, and Robin described it as "one rollicking little jaunt that me and the lads came up with...the ensuing results being that it went on to be a huge top 20 hit in the UK and the US that left the three of us 'drooling' with pleasure."

The song's lyrics are straightforward and tell a story about a man who creates his own world where he lives with his lover. The verses and the chorus are catchy and engaging, with a feel-good vibe that made it a classic at parties, clubs, and other social events.

What sets "My World" apart from other Bee Gees songs is its unique use of instruments. The song offers a dynamic lead guitar riff played by Geoff Bridgford, which is fast-paced and almost funk-inspired. The rest of the song's instrumental arrangement is typical of Bee Gees' style, with a mix of percussion, horns, and synths that make it an enjoyable listening experience.

Unfortunately, "My World" was the last single by Bee Gees to feature Geoff Bridgford as the lead guitarist. Despite this, the song remains a staple on classic pop stations and is remembered for the joy it brings to its listeners.

Overall, "My World" by Bee Gees is a catchy and relatable song that showcases the band's talent for producing upbeat pop tracks. The song is a must-listen for any fan of the Bee Gees and remains a classic 70s hit to this day.
