Doesn't take much to make me happy And make me smile with glee Never never will I feel discouraged 'Cause our love's no mystery Demonstrating love and affection That you give so openly I like the way you make me feel about you, baby Want the whole wide world to see Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love Flowing in and out of changes The kind that come around each day My life has a better meaning Love has kissed me in a beautiful way Holding hands ain't everybody's thing But with me it plants the seed In my heart forever growing The kind of love I know you need Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love Oh oh you've got the best of my love
