Make the World Go Away Lyrics

[Chorus]
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

[Verse 1]
Do you remember when you loved me
Before the world took me astray?
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away

[Chorus]
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make the world go away

[Chorus]
Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

[Outro]
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away

About

A country chestnut and a prototype of the 1950-60s “Nashville Sound”—the pop-influenced, smoothed out alternative to the honky-tonk stylings that dominated country music in the decades before and after.

Written by the legendary Hank Cochran, the lyrics ask an estranged lover to provide a safe harbor from the rest of the world that makes those problems seem to disappear altogether.
