Mother said life ain’t paradise
But there’ll be battles worth fighting for
And there’ll be love to find before you die
And I know when you know that you know for sure
And I don’t got a whole lot of years behind me
But I don’t want one more second of lonely baby
‘Cause those days and nights ain’t no kind of living
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
When it’s you and I, there’s nothing I’m missing
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
Ooh mmm…
A lot of settling for second best
Leaving my hopes on the hardwood floor
And now with you I find a place that I can rest
And wake up a better man than I was before
And I don’t got a whole lot of years behind me
But I can’t take one more second of lonely baby
And those days and nights ain’t no kind of living
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
When it’s you and I, there’s nothing I’m missing
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
Come on now
Baby those days and nights I thought I was living
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
When it’s you and I, there’s nothing I’m missing
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
Yeah you’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
You’re as good as it gets on this side of heaven
