Every night I'm lyin' in bed
holdin' you close in my dreams,
thinkin' about all the things that we said
and comin' apart at the seams.
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love.
Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
look at the way that we live.
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
left us so little to give.
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above
but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream,
it was a quiet night and I would be alright
if I could go on sleeping.
But every mornin' I wake up and worry
what's gonna happen today.
You see it your way and I see it mine
but we both see it slippin' away.
You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough.
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' every night and day
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oh
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you got it
YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (fade)I'm the kid on the block
With my head made of rock
And I ain't got nobody
I'm the state of the art
Got a brain a la carte
I make the babies cry
I ain't one of the crowd
I ain't one of the guys
They just avoid me
They run and they hide
Are my colors too bright
Are my eyes set too wide
I spend my whole life
Burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine
Oh no!
Got a synthetic face
Got some scars and a brace
My hands are rough and bloody
I walk into the night
Women faint at the sight
I ain't no cutie-pie
I can't walk in the day
I must walk in the night
Stay in the shadows
Stay out of the light
Are my shoulders too wide
Is my head screwed on tight
I spend my whole life
Burning, turning
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
The local freak with the twisted mind
I'm a teenage Frankenstein
These ain't my hands
And these legs ain't mine
