I moved around a lot you know before I was thirty

My feet got cold sometimes, my hands got dirty

I did one or two things that I'm not proud of

I knew some women and I had some friends

But I always walked away you know before the bitter end

Lookin' down on my life from somewhere up above

I guess I never knew what I was missin'

Never thought about it till you came along

I guess I figured I was born without ambition

But baby I was wrong

I want the best

Only the best for us

Oh girl, only the best for us

And now I've settled down some

And I'm workin' kinda hard

That's my little house there,

Those are my kids out in the yard

I got my both feet planted firmly on the ground

And sometimes late at night

When we're in bed I get to thinkin'

'Bout pretty girls and all those city lights blinkin'

And then you call out my name,

And I never want to lose that sound

I guess I never knew what I was missin'

Never thought about it till you came along

I guess I figured I was born without ambition

But baby I was wrong

I want the best

Only the best for us

Oh girl, only the best for us

I want nothing but the best

I want nothing but the best

I want nothing but the best

Only the best for us

And when I get a little bit down

And I think I've lost my touch

You're spreading love around

And nothin' can hurt me much

Baby, you're the best

Baby, you're the best

Only the best

Only the best for us

I want nothing but the best

I want nothing but the best

I want nothing but the best

Only the best for us

I want nothing but the best

I want nothing but the best

Only the best for us
