Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm as happy as I can be
'Cause I'm allergic to tragedy
The doctor said something's wrong with me
The smile on my face has no remedy
[Chorus]
So, baby, don't say no
Come on and just say yes
You know it's time to keep it simple, let's
Take a chance and hope for the best
Life is short so make it what you wanna
Make it good, don't wait until mañana
I think I'm cool 'cause your name's on this heart-shaped tattoo
Now the best thing about me is you
[PostChorus]
Oh-oh
[Verse 2]
My cryin' days are now history (History)
I had a change of philosophy (Philosophy)
I take each day as it comes to me
And I won't take myself all that seriously
[Chorus]
So, baby, don't say no
Come on and just say yes
You know it's time to keep it simple, let's
Take a chance and hope for the best
Life is short so make it what you wanna
Make it good, don't wait until mañana
I think I'm cool 'cause your name's on this heart-shaped tattoo
Now the best thing about me is you
[PostChorus]
It's you, woah
Oh, the best thing about me is you
Now the best thing, the best thing
Oh, yes, it is
It's true, woah
[Bridge]
Take off your shoes, lay back and take a load off (Lay back and take a load off)
Give me your blues, let me love it away (Let me love it away)
Nothing to lose, so don't act like such a grown-up
Stay out all night in the moonlight with me
[Chorus]
(Don't say no) Oh, oh, oh, all night, baby
(Just say yes) Come on and just say yes
You know it's time to keep it simple, let's (You know it's time about)
Take a chance and hope for the best
Life is short so make it what you wanna (Make it what you wanna)
Make it good, don't wait until mañana (Don't you go waitin')
I think I'm cool 'cause your name's on this heart-shaped tattoo
Now the best thing about me is you
[Outro]
Woah
It's you, woah
Now the best thing, the best thing, the best thing about me is you (Oh, the best thing, the best thing is you, yeah)
Now the best thing about me is you
The best thing about me is you
A-pa-ba-ra
The best thing about me is you
La-la
The best thing about me is you
Ooh-ah, ba-ra-ra, ooh-ah, ooh-ah
