Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild
Oh, you come to me, give me everything I need
[Verse 2]
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, babe
[Verse 3]
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
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Oh, you're the best, whoa
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
You're the best
[Verse 8]
Ooh, 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
No, tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
[Verse 9]
Oh, you're the best
You're better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Oh, you're the best
