The Lyrics…
Darling if you ever leave me well, I’ll just put my heart away
I couldn’t love again believe me no one could please me anyway
And if another ever came along, I’d turn them down cause after all
I’ve been loved by the best I can’t settle now for less why bother with the rest
Baby, I’ve been to the top I guess with you I have been blessed
I won’t take nothing less I’ve been loved by the best
If you ever get tired of me well I won’t look for someone new
Cause looking back at how you loved me no one could measure up to you
And if they try to win this heart of mine, I have to say they waste the time
I’ve been loved by the best
When I look into your eyes I know you’re the only love I’ll ever want
Cause after you and me baby I can see nothing else could be even fault
I’ve been loved by the best
The Gentle Giant…
