The Best

Lyrics

[Intro] (One, two, three, four) This next song represents all my sheros, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris Ann and Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin All these women who inspired me to be myself Being unique is lonely But if there's anybody out there who ever taught me to hang on I went and saw her on her last concert tour She was sixty years old Living proof that it's not about age It's about attitude [Verse 1] I call you when I need ya and my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me wild and wired Mm, you come to me Give me everything I need [Verse 2] You give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak the language of love like you know what it means Ooh, and it can't be wrong Take my heart and make it strong, babe [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, babe I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, no, no Baby, I would rather be dead [Verse 2] In your heart, I see the start of every night and every day In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away (Oh, yeah) 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, babe I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, no, no 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, don't let go [Interlude] Oh Woo You know what I think? [Chorus] You're simply the best, woo Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I've ever met I'm stuck on your heart, babe Go Vicki I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, no, no, no Baby, I would rather be dead Ooh, you're the best [Outro] Yes, you are (Ooh) Thank you very much everybody I see you up there with binoculars I'm not sure what you're looking for It's not perfect, but it's real, honey, haha I haven't uh, recorded this next song yet, but I felt like singing it tonight because, um, last year I got married and I um Yeah, it's a miracle, believe me What you laughing for? You, you don't know the pain Ooh, but I, uh, sorry, I, uh, have been integrating Zack, my bonus child Um, with Elijah and Grace And um, I can travel the world and run a business and be global, but being a parent has been the hardest job I've ever loved And uh, I take a lot of time outs, don't I? It's necessary, Elijah Well, this next song, um, I think more than anything, a Grammy or even another number one, um What I want is what's in this song and um, I'm gonna record it, but I wanted to share it with you guys 'Cause after twenty years, you know you f—, you try to fall in love all over again in your relationships or with your work It's hard to maintain your passion And you have to work at it, and um, when I heard this next song, it gave me a reason to continue to sing And um, haha Getting back to why I got in this business in the first place is just to sing Pray for us because um, running a career and a family is um, they say the word balan—, balanced I fall into bed and count the things I didn't do sometimes rather than celebrate the things I do, and um, mm But thank you, um, for loving me, even when I'm not number one You know
