Nobody Does it Better

Artist: Carly Simon

Album: Dancelife With Love (007)

Song Length: N/A

George's Thoughts: Fans of James Bond will love this rendition of Carly Simon's hit tune from the movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" (one of my favorite Bond films). While Carly's original version is unsuitable for any of the dances, this one makes a good Slow Foxtrot. The beat may be just a shade too subtle for novice Slow Fox dancers to follow, so it's best suited to intermediate or experienced dancers.

Song Lyrics:

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best

I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
It tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin'
But just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

Oh, and nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best

Baby you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Baby you're the best

FADE
Oh, oh, oh
