The Best Lyrics

I call you, when I need you my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me, wild and wild You come to me Give me everything I need Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak the 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 ever met I'm stuck on your heart I hang on every word you say Tear us apart Baby, I would rather be dead In your heart I see the start 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 ever met I'm stuck on your heart I hang on every word you say Tear us apart 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 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 say Tear us apart Baby, I would rather be dead 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 say Tear us apart Baby, I would rather be dead 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 say Tear us apart Baby, I would rather be dead Oh, you're the best

Meaning of The Best

“The Best” is a raw and intensely passionate declaration of love – and desperation – fueled by an all-consuming obsession. Tina Turner embodies the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of a relationship where she’s utterly captivated, almost to the point of self-destruction. The lyrics reveal a yearning for completeness, a desire for a “lifetime of promises” and dreams offered solely through this one person, creating a world built entirely around them. Despite acknowledging the potential for heartbreak – "I would rather be dead" – she clings desperately to his presence, lost in his eyes and consumed by her feelings. The repetition emphasizes the addictive nature of the relationship and the artist’s struggle for control amidst an overwhelming need. Ultimately, it's a plea for unwavering devotion, proclaiming him “simply the best” even as the song hints at the volatile and potentially devastating power of this love.
