Paul Weller
You’re the Best Thing
[Verse 1]
I could be discontent and chase the rainbow's end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring
I might shoot to win and commit the sin
Of wanting more than I've already got
I could runaway but I'd rather stay
In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day
The one that makes me say, hey

[Chorus]
Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away

[Verse 2]
I might be a king and steal my peoples' things
But I don't go for that power crazy way
All that I could rule I don't check for fools
All that I need is to be left to live my way
Say listen what I say

[Chorus]
Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away
[Bridge]
Listen to what I say

[Chorus]
Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away

[Verse 3]
I could chase around for nothing to be found
But why look for something that is never there
I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style
For I realise your love means more than anything
The song you make me sing, yeah

[Chorus]
Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
You're the best thing that ever happened - so don't go away

Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me or my world
Now don't go, I said don't go, no no don't go away
