Lyrics
The Best Thing in Life #13
A smiley face, a check-in call
A sweet hello and that is all
And I know you are on my side
No sexy clothes, no plastic bod
No fancy bash that costs a wad
No we don't even have to try
We don't need no diamond rings
Silver hoops or shiny things
There is nothing that we have to buy
Just to keep us satisfied
The best thing in life is free
It's what they call a perfect match
It's heaven made, there is no catch
To spend your life with your soulmate
I write a text, you send a note
You snuggle up when I feel cold
And when you smile it feels so great
No, we don't need no diamond rings
Silver hoops or shiny things
There's nothing that we have to buy
Just to keep us satisfied
The best thing in life is free
