Lyrics

Best Part (Maida Vale Session)

[Verse 1]

You don't know babe

When you hold me

And kiss me slowly

It's the sweetest thing

And it don't change

If I had it my way

You would know that you are

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You're the coffee that I need in the morning

You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring

Won't you give yourself to me

Give it all

I just wanna see

[Chorus]

I just wanna see how beautiful you are

You know that I see it

I know you're a star

Where you go I'll follow

No matter how far

If life is a movie

Oh you're the best part, oh

Then you're the best part, ooh

Best part

[Verse 2]

It's this sunrise

And those brown eyes, yes

You're the one that I desire

When we wake up

And then we make love (Make love)

It makes me feel so nice

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You're my water when I'm stuck in the desert

You're the Tylenol I take when my head hurts

You're the sunshine on my life

[Chorus]

I just wanna see how beautiful you are

You know that I see it

I know you're a star

Where you go I'll follow

No matter how far

If life is a movie

Then you're the best part, oh

You're the best part, ooh

Best part

[Outro]

If you love me, would you say something?

If you love me, would you? Hmm

If you love me, won't you say something?
