Best Ones Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
The good nights
Don't have rainy blue eyes that wreck me without warning
They don't taste like wine and cigarettes and melt into the morning
They don't end up with me wakin' up with you
No, the good nights don't
But the best ones do

[Verse 2]
And the good songs
Don't get stuck inside my head long after they're over
They don't sound like lower Broadway with your head on my shoulder
They don't remember when I fell in lovе with you
No, the good songs don't
But the best onеs do

[Chorus]
The best ones come right outta nowhere
And you'd give anything to go there one more time
The best ones they ain't always the last ones
But you know it when you've had one, and you're mine

[Verse 3]
And a good heart
Don't have doors with locks that it won't let me open
Don't slip away the closer I try to hold it
And sure don't leave mine bruised and broke in two
No, a good heart don't
But the best ones...
[Chorus]
The best ones come right outta nowhere
And you'd give anything to go there one more time
The best ones, the hardest-to-forget ones
Yeah, you probably only get one, and you're mine
Yeah, you're mine

[Outro]
Yeah, the good nights
Don't have rainy blue eyes that wreck me without warning
They don't taste like wine and cigarettes and melt in the morning
They don't end up with me wakin' up with you
No, the good nights don't
But the best ones do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
