I call you when I need you And my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me Wild and wired You come to me, give me everything I need You bring a lifetime of promises And a world of dreams You speak the language of love Like you know what it means And it can't be wrong Take my heart and make it strong 'Cause 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 said Tear us apart Baby I would rather be dead Deep in your heart I see the start Of every night and every day And 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 'Cause you're simply the best
