Best of My Love
written by Theophilus Coakley

It was the first of May,a lovely day
when you came into my life
The timing was right
there's one thing I want you to know

You'll get the best of my love
hey,you'll get the best of my love

Don't you hesitate,don't you wait
when in doubt,let me know now
I'll get to you somehow
there's one thing I want you to know

You'll get the best of my love
baby,get the best of my love

You know there's a warm place waiting for you
in my heart
You know that I've always played by the rules
from the start

As we go from day to day
I just want to say
My love is here to stay
No one can take that away,ooh

Come to me tenderly
can we love into the night
For the rest of my life
anywhere,anytime,just call

You'll get the best of my love
hey baby,you'll get the best of my love

Can't you see it was meant to be so
love is so blind
Time after time
there's one thing I want you to know

You'll get the best of my love
oh baby,get the best of my love

If you need somebody to take away the cruel
I can fix it
You know if you call,I'll be there real soon
in a minute

As we go from day to day
I just want to say
My love is here to stay
No one can take that away

You know there's a warm place waiting for you
in my heart
You know that I've always played by the rules
from the very start

As we go from day to day
I just want to say
My love is here to stay
No one can take that away,hey

Wanna tell you something,sweet baby,yeah
Ooh listen
You got the best of my love
You got the best of my sweet lovin'
(You got the best of my love)

You got the best of my love
You got the best of my sweet lovin' baby
(You got the best of my love)

ahhh yes!!

I can't believe that this song doesn't appear on many compilations.Rhino should have included it on one of their 'Smooth Grooves' compilations.
