## Lyrics

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

Tell me what that means to you

If it was me that was by your side

Limitless, without no rules

Nothin' to lose

Never no pressure

Just put yourself into my shoes

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]

That cigarette, put it out, put it out

Keep lookin' my way, turn around, turn around

This is a moment you can't buy

I see that longing in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]

Somethin' is tellin' me you're ready, am I wrong?

Maybe the lyrics are too heavy in my song

How would you feel if you had me, then I was gone?

Better not be leadin' me on

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

Tell me what that means to you

If it was me that was by your side

Limitless, without no rules

Nothin' to lose

Never no pressure

Just put yourself into my shoes

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

You might also like

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]

I'm a confirmation, should you feel unsure

I'm that security when you're insecure

I'll be that baby girl when you're immature

Don't be ambivalent towards me

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]

Somethin' is tellin' me you're ready, am I wrong?

Maybe the lyrics are too heavy in my song

How would you feel if you had me, then I was gone?

Better not be leadin' me on

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

Tell me what that means to you

If it was me that was by your side

Limitless, without no rules

Nothin' to lose (Nothing)

Never no pressure (Never)

Just put yourself into my shoes (Into my shoes)

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life (I'm not your life, oh baby I'm)

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life (Baby, I wanna be your life)

Tell me what that means to you

If it was me that was by your side

Limitless, without no rules (Limitless)

Nothin' to lose (Nothing to lose)

Never no pressure (No pressure)

Just put yourself into my shoes

I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life, baby

Ahh

[Outro: Mariah Carey & *Timbaland*]

*Break it down*

(I'm not your world

No, I'm not your life

Tell me what that means to you)

Said, I'm not your world

(By your side

Limitless, without no rules

Nothin' to lose)

Nothin' to lose, no pressure

*Uh* (Limitless, without no rules

Nothin' to lose)

Nothing (*C'mon, MC*)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (*C'mon*)

Nothin' to lose, no pressure (*Break it*)

No pressure (*Break it*)

Ooh (*C'mon, MC*)

Ah, ah, ah, ah (*Uh, c'mon*)

La-da-da-da-da-da, I'm not your life (*What you say, girl?*)

Limitless, without no rules (*Break it*)

Your life (*C'mon, what you say, girl?*

*What you say, girl?*

*What you say, girl?*

*C'mon*)
