The Best

I call you when I need you
And my heart’s on fire
You’ll come to me, come to me wild and wired

You come to me
Give me everything I need

You bring 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

‘Cause 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 said
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

Deep in your heart
I see the start of every night and every day
And 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

‘Cause 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 said
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead....

Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place, oh

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I ever met

I’m stuck on your heart (oh baby)
I hang on every word you said (oh yeah)
Tear us apart (oh no)
Baby, I would rather be dead

You’re simply the best (oh baby)
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I ever met

Oh, I’m stuck on your heart (oh baby)
I hang on every word you said....

The Fire Below

What I need is what you got
And a man like you must surely have a lot
It’s what I need, so now you know
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

What you see is what you get
And if that’s not enough, you know you ain’t seen nothing yet
So hold on tight and don’t let go
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

The fire below, the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below
The fire below , the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

When I play it’s not a game
I’ve got nothing to lose but you sure got a lot to gain
Come on, come on, come on—I’m ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

Ooh, the fire below, the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below
The fire below , the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah
Now if you take me up , I won’t bring you down
Now, you know I ain’t fooling and I won’t take no messing around
Come on, come on, come on—I’m ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

The fire below, the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below
Come on, come on, come on, you know I’m ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below

The fire below, the fire below
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below
Come on, come on, come on—now I’m ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving to put out the fire below, oh, oh, yeah....

Under Suspicion

I put my trust in you ‘cos I’m not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that there’s someone on your mind
And maybe I’m wrong and maybe there’s some mistake
But I won’t take any chances, I’m watching every mover you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time

When we talk I can see you can’t look me straight in the eye
What’s all the secrecy, you got me wondering why
Is there someone you met to make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Don’t try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think you’re pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time

Instrumental

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion

Instrumental

You’re under suspicion all the time
You’re under suspicion all the time
