Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, it's been a long day, baby
Things ain't been going my way, you know I need you here
You clear my mind all the time
[Verse 2]
And, baby, the way you move me it's crazy
It's like you see right through me and make it easier
Believe me, you don't even have to try
[Chorus]
Oh, because
You are the best thing (You're the best thing)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
[Verse 3]
Baby, we've come a long way, baby
You know I hope and I pray that you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
[Chorus]
Oh, because
You are the best thing (You're the best thing)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
[Bridge]
Both of us have known love before
To come on home promising like the spring
Then walk on out the door
Our hearts are strong, and our hearts are kind
Let me tell you just exactly what's on my mind
[Chorus]
You are the best thing (You're the best thing)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
[Chorus]
You are the best thing (You're the best thing)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing (You're the best thing, ooh)
Ever happened to me
[Outro]
You are the best thing (Yeah, yeah)
You are the best thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You are the best thing (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
That ever happened to me
