I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
ย
Come to me, come to me, wild and wired
Ooh, you come to me, give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
You speak the language of love like you know what it means
Mmm, it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it stronger, baby
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, now, now, now
Baby, I'd rather be dead
It's in your heart, it's in the stars of every night and every day
ย
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
ย
Just as long as I'm here in your arms, I could be in no better place
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, now, now, now
Baby, I'd rather be dead
Each time you leave me, I just lose control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh, baby, don't let go
ย
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, now, now, now
Baby, I'd rather be dead
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
You're simply the best
ย
Right here I'd like to introduce the fellas to you
Starting on my right, your left
On trumpet and backup vocals, Frank Parker
ย
Also on trumpet and backup vocals, Lawrence Webber
On saxophone and backup vocals, Warren R. Williams
Also on saxophone and backup vocals, Emile Hall
Behind him on keyboards, Reed "Doc" Watkins
On drums, Sir Wilbert Whitto
On guitar, George Scott
On bass, Harold Scott
And last but not least, my support system
My husband and manager, Emile Jackson
Ladies and gentlemen, give the
Professionals a round of applause, please
ย
Did you have a good time tonight?
We will be back tomorrow with more and more
See you tomorrow
ย
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, now, now, now
Baby, I'd rather be dead
You're simply the best
ย
Yeah, how about putting your hands together
A big hand for the dynamic soul queens of New Orleans
The dynamic fifth, Purple Tarp
Let's hear it for the dynamic fifth, Purple Tarp
