[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
I wanna get 'em, girl, teach 'em a lesson
I got the love for you over and over
They got us working, girl, under illusion
I got the love for you over and out
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a trip just to keep us together
[Chorus]
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me, baby, how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Just about the best thing that I know
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me baby how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Still hurtin'
How do they make me wanna
Do what I do when I love you
[Verse 2]
We gotta show them, girl, hip to the power
I got the love for you better than ever
They got me lovin', girl, like I was crazy
I got the love for you over and out
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a trip just to keep 'em in power
[Chorus]
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me, baby, how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Just about the best thing that I know
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me, baby, how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Still hurtin'
How do they make me wanna
Do what I do when I love you
[Horn and percussion break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a trip just to keep us together
[Chorus break]
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me baby how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Still hurtin'
How do they make me wanna
Do what I do when I love you
[Chorus]
(Baby, baby, your love)
Is just about the best thing ever
Tell me, baby, how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Just about the best thing that I know
(Baby, baby, your love)
You know it's just about the best thing ever
Tell me baby how'd it get so good
(Baby, baby, your love)
Still hurtin'
[Outro]
Tell me, baby, how'd it get so good
