  • God was there, always had the best of drugs
    Knew where to get them
    Brought a lady friend, and I believe her name was Stella, and he said

    Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world, if just stay with me tonight
    Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world, if you just hold me tight

    And I wonder how it will go
    When God hands over the whole wide world to
    A forty three year old hooker from downtown
    Maybe it's about time the old man hands over the crown

    Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight
    Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just hold me tight,
    Hold me tight, hold me tight, hold me tight

    And it made me realize, how much you wanna give away just to feel loved
    And the Lord blinked to me and asked:
    What is real love to you? What is fake and what is true?

    [Repeat x4]
    Oh, Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just stay with me tonight
    Stella, Stella, I wanna give you the world if you just hold me tight Writer/s: IDA SIVERTSEN
