The Best
Tina Turner · Simply The Best
i call you when i need you, when my heart's on fire,
Come to me, come to me wild and wilder,
oooooooo you come to me
give me everything i need
Give me a life-time of promises,
and a world of dreams,
speak the language of love
like you know what it means,
oooooooo and it can't be wrong,
take my heart and make it stronger
babe
(chorus)
You're simply the best!
Better than all the rest,
Better than anyone,
Anyone i ever met
And I'm stuck on your heart
And I hang on every word you said,
tear us apart?
baby i would rather be dead
In your heart
i see the stars 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 could be in no better place
(chorus)
Each time you leave me
I start losing control,
You're walking away with my heart
and my soul
I can feel you even when i'm alone
oh baby don't let go!
(chorus till fade)
Come to me, come to me wild and wilder,
oooooooo you come to me
give me everything i need
Give me a life-time of promises,
and a world of dreams,
speak the language of love
like you know what it means,
oooooooo and it can't be wrong,
take my heart and make it stronger
babe
(chorus)
You're simply the best!
Better than all the rest,
Better than anyone,
Anyone i ever met
And I'm stuck on your heart
And I hang on every word you said,
tear us apart?
baby i would rather be dead
In your heart
i see the stars 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 could be in no better place
(chorus)
Each time you leave me
I start losing control,
You're walking away with my heart
and my soul
I can feel you even when i'm alone
oh baby don't let go!
(chorus till fade)
