James Bay – The Best lyrics
[Verse 1]
I call you when I need you
When your heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired

[Pre Chorus]
You come to me
Give me everything I need

[Verse 2]
Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means

[Pre Chorus]
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
Hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

[Verse 3]
In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
And in your eyes I get lost
I get washed away

[Pre Chorus]
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
Hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh oh, yeah
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
Hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oh, you're the best
