I don't care what anybody thinks of me
My pride is gone and here I am on bended knee
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.
I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.
I want you and I need you that's all I know
And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go.
I'd gladly beg, I'd steal or I'd borrow
I'd turn my back on everyone I know
I'd do these things with no fear of tomorrow
Ask anything but tell me you won't go.
Yes, I'd fight the world before I'd ever let you go...

Jim Reeves sings a passionate love song about total devotion and desperation to keep a loved one. The lyrics express a willingness to beg, steal, or borrow and to fight the world rather than lose the person. While the song conveys deep commitment, it does not reference God, Jesus, faith, or any Christian theme. The focus is entirely on human romantic love, not divine love or worship. Therefore, it is not a Christian song.
