The Best of Everything

Dear St. Valentine, you've really set me up this time
It seems you've filled my heart up with a girl that's on the climb
And I am just a ladder rung to where she wants to be

Oh, I do not stand a chance
'Cause love is not the question here
It's the fortune that I bring
She needs the best of everything
Oh, I do not stand a chance
Why should she settle for a common man
When she can have a king
She needs the best of everything
Oh, she needs the best of everything
The best of everything

Dear St. Valentine, would you please take back my desire
'Cause I don't have enough of what a girl like this requires
Way down deep inside my heart, I still feel she's the one

Oh, I do not stand a chance
She's singularly unimpressed
With the words of love I sing
She needs the best of everything
Oh, I do not stand a chance
I only thought I was helping her
Now I'm dangling from her string
She needs the best of everything
Oh, she needs the best of everything
The best of everything

And tell her one thing
She ain't never gonna find
And that's a man who would love her as much as I
As much as I

Oh, I do not stand a chance
'Cause love is not the question here
It's the fortune that I bring
She needs the best of everything
Oh, I do not stand a chance
Why should she settle for a common man
When she can have a king
She needs the best of everything
Oh, she needs the best of everything
The best of everything
