"Best Thing" lyrics

"Best Thing"

Baby, you drive me mad
You're the best thing I ever had
Street lights trace your name
Then draw me into the flame

It's hard to get down on my knees
I'm beggin' you, take me back, please

You say our time is through
So what is it that I must do
To steal your heart I'll walk the line
Lock it up then make it mine

It's hard to get down on my knees
I'm beggin' you, take me back, please
I swear, I can't take it no more
It's murder down here on the floor

Tell me what to say
To win your love and save the day
Before this night fade's away
I'm beggin' you, take me back, please
I'm beggin' you, take me back, please
...
