Lyrics: Nobody Does It Better

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, you're the best.

I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me.
I tried to hide from your love light,
But like heaven above me the spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight.

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way you do.
Did you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me whenever you hold me.
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin' but just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, darlin' you're the best.
Baby you're the best.
Baby you're the best.
Baby you're the best.
Darlin' you're the best.
Darlin' you're the best.
Baby you're the best.
Baby you're the best.
