Simply The Best

i call you,when i need you my hearts on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything i need
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, baby

Chorus:
You're simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead

In your heart i see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, i get lost, i gte 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've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead

It's the 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!



And your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone i've
Ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead, ooh you're the best!

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Oh yes i'm touched by this show of emotion
Should i be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should i, should i?

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause i don't have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And i know you keep telling me that you love me
And i really do wanna believe
But did you think i'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause i don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And i really don't see why it's so hard to be good to me
And i don't understand what's your plan that you can't be good to me
What i can't feel i surely cannot see, why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real i do not wish to see, why can't you be good to me

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all i need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all i need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all i see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

Tell me lawyer what to do
I think i'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way i feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure we can make a deal
I confess i'm a fool for men with a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match with this heart of mine

All i want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Your sense of justice i'll embrace
But your defence don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer gotta catch me when i fall
Oh they say that you match your wits with the best of them
But i know when i'm close you're just like the rest of them

All i want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in

One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about living love
Two can see how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart
Living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
That's a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar
Like an island here all alone
Two can make just any place
Seem just like being at home

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can go out to the movies
Looking for a special treat
Two can make that scene in the movies
Something really kind of neat
One can take a walk in the moonlight
Thinking that it's really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand
Is like adding just a pinch of spice

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, i guess i want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

Last night we tried to touch but we never got close
Last night we tried to talk, the words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that i'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

You try to say that i'm hiding from you
You act like a spy always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that i'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, so be tender baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again

Baby, i need a hand to hold tonight
And one bright star to remind me
How dear is this life
And baby, i've never known anyone like you
There's something very special about you
I can't imagine living without you

It's the way of the world and its motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right and you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's s fire always burning
And there isn't a thing i can't do
I'm resigned to the fact that there's no turning back
And i'll never regret loving you

Baby, i will go anywhere you need
As long as you're there beside me
Baby, that's all i need
Hold me, hold me and never let me go
I'm always gonna care about you
I never wanna be without you


It's the way of the world and its motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right and you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's s fire always burning
And there isn't a thing i can't do
I'm resigned to the fact that there's no turning back
And i'll never regret loving you

You're everything i believe in
So don't ever lose the feeling
Don't ever lose the feeling
