The Best
Tina Turner · Foreign Affair/what's Love Got To [2010]
I call you I need you
My heart's on fire
Come to me come to me wild and wild
You come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong again
Chorus:
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I can be in no better place
Chorus:
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Ooh tears us apart
Oh No no no
Baby I'd rather be dead
Each time you leave me
I start losing control
You walkin away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when im alone
Oh baby no no no noooo
Ooh you're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh im stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Noo tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead
Ooh you're the best
My heart's on fire
Come to me come to me wild and wild
You come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong again
Chorus:
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I can be in no better place
Chorus:
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Ooh tears us apart
Oh No no no
Baby I'd rather be dead
Each time you leave me
I start losing control
You walkin away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when im alone
Oh baby no no no noooo
Ooh you're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh im stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Noo tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead
Ooh you're the best
