I moved around a lot you know before I was thirty
My feet got cold sometimes, my hands got dirty
I did one or two things that I'm not proud of
I knew some women and I had some friends
But I always walked away you know before the bitter end
Lookin' down on my life from somewhere up above

I guess I never knew what I was missin'
Never thought about it till you came along
I guess I figured I was born without ambition
But baby I was wrong

I want the best
Only the best for us
Oh girl, only the best for us

And now I've settled down some and I'm workin' kinda hard
That's my little house there, those are my kids out in the yard
I got my both feet planted firmly on the ground
And sometimes late at night when we're in bed I get to thinkin'
'Bout pretty girls and all those city lights blinkin'
And then you call out my name, and I never want to lose that sound

I guess I never knew what I was missin'
Never thought about it till you came along
I guess I figured I was born without ambition
But baby I was wrong

I want the best
Only the best for us
Oh girl, only the best for us
I want nothing but the best (I want the best for us)
I want nothing but the best (I want the best for us)
I want nothing but the best (I want the best for us)
Only the best for us

And when I get a little bit down
And I think I've lost my touch
You're spreading love around
And nothin' can hurt me much
Baby, you're the best
