"The Greatest Love" lyrics

"The Greatest Love"

Oh oh oh oh

Your other love
Buys you pretty clothes
And all the fine things
That Heaven only knows
I wish I could
Your other love dances and he sings
And he swings and he says all the witty little things
That a playboy should

Oh he's got money
He's got charm
And when you're walking arm in arm
It hurts me so
But I want you to know

It's not easy
Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best to you
And push myself aside
It takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leaving me behind
That's the greatest love
Oh yes it is

Oh oh oh oh

Your other love
He's got the power
To entertain you
Each and every hour
Of the day and night
Your other love
He's got the ways and the means
To show you all the wild scenes
Where the lights are bright

Oh love should never be possessed
So don't you cry and be depressed
You're free to go
But I still want you to know

It's not easy
Heaven knows I've tried
To wish the best to you baby
And push myself aside
It takes the greatest love
That you'll ever find
To let you walk away
Leaving me behind
And that's the greatest love
Oh yes it is

Oh it takes the greatest love
Oh oh it takes the greatest love
Oh it takes the greatest love
