Tina Turner - The Best

I call you when I need you
My heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like
You know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You're simply the best,
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the star
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've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
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 the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oh! You're the best!

Bruno Mars - When I Was Your Man
Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you
All that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little
When I hear your name
And all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand
Should've given you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing,
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego
My needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you
To walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up
The mess I made, oh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers and held your hand
Should've given you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing
With another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember
How much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man

Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man
