[Intro]
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wired
Ooh, you come to me, give me everything I need
[Verse 1]
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
Mm, and it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
[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? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Verse 2]
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 could be in no better place
[Chorus]
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Bridge]
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]
Oh, you're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Post-Chorus]
You're the best
[Chorus]
Oh, you're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Outro]
Oh, you're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Oh, you're the best
