THE BEST
Writers: Holly Knight/ Mike Chapman
I call you when I need you
and my heart’s on fire
Come to me come to me wild and wired
You come to me
give me everything I need
You give me 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 babe
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
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
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
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
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
You’re the best
1. THE BEST
BE TENDER WITH ME BABY
Writers: Holly Knight/ Albert Hammond
You’ve got the right to tell me it’s all over
It isn’t like me to be begging you
Don’t let go, don’t let go
just stay with me another day
And when I’m not myself
please understand me
I’m so confused I don’t know what to do
but don’t give up, don’t give up
it just may take a little time
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, always
I know that you’ve been patient
with my weakness
and that you hate to see me cry
but I know, yes I know
it doesn’t hurt to be this way
and I’m so lonely I could die
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, always
Why does my heart keep on hurting
why do I feel, feel like I do
I hope you see this is
not really me
and it’s just a phase that I’m going through
Be tender with me baby …
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, for always …always
2. BE TENDER WITH ME BABY
BETTER BE GOOD TO ME
Writers: Holly Knight/ Mike Chapman
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
Oh 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
And I think it’s oh so right
That we don’t need to fight
When 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
But 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
and I don’t have no use
for what you loosely call the truth
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
If it is not real I do not wish to see why can’t you be
Good to me
Oh 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
