I've Been Loved By the Best

Don Williams · The Gentle Giant [American Legends] [2005]

(Bob McDill / Paul Harrison)



Darling, if you ever leave me

Well, I'll just put my heart away

I couldn't love again, believe me

No one could please me anyway.

And if another ever came along

I'd just turn them down 'cause after all.



I've been loved by the best

I can't settle now for less,

Why bother with the rest

Baby, I've been to the top, I guess,

With you I have been blessed

I won't take nothin' less,

I've been loved by the best.

If you ever get tired of me

Well, I won't look for someone new

'Cause looking back on how you loved me

No one could measure up to you

And if they try to win this heart of mine

I just have to say, ''Don't waste your time.''



I've been loved by the best

I can't settle now for less,

Why bother with the rest

Baby, I've been to the top, I guess,

With you I have been blessed

I won't take nothin' less,

I've been loved by the best.



When I look into your eyes I know

You're the only love I ever want

'Cause, after you and me

Baby, I can see

Nothin' else could be even close.



I've been loved by the best

I can't settle now for less,

Why bother with the rest

Baby, I've been to the top I guess,

With you I have been blessed

I won't take nothin less,

I've been loved by the best...
