Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, no no 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, no no 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, no no baby I would rather be dead, ooh you're the best!
