The Best Years Of My Life

Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd

[Verse 1]
Oh, I feel so good, my wife is filled with joy
'Cause we've been expecting and we hope a baby boy
That looks just like me

[Chorus]
Oh, you've given to me, girl
(Ooh, you've given to me, now)
You've given to me, now
(Ooh, you've given to me)
Given to me
The best years of my life (The best years of my life)

[Verse 2]
Like a honeysuckle on a vine
Your love gets better to me all the time
Everyday I think about it just blows my mind
Never let a day go by I don't stop and try to wonder why
How can I be so lucky with you by my side

[Chorus]
Oh, you've given to me, girl
(Ooh, you've given to me, now)
You've given to me, now
(Ooh, you've given to me, yeah)
Given to me
The best years of my life (The best years of my life)

[Verse 3]
Like a bluebird in the tree, baby I'm feeling fancy-free
So, keep on bringin' your old love to me, now
Every time I'm feelin' down, I never have to stop and look around
'Cause I know, pretty baby, you're right here by my side

[Chorus]
Oh, you've given to me
(Ooh, you've given to me, now)
You've given to me, girl
(Ooh, you've given to me, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
The best years of my life (The best years of my life)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, that's what you did baby, yeah
Ha, sock it to me one time
Went on and do it to me two times
Then you gave it to me three times
And that blessed day has come
And my wife gave birth to a baby son, but somehow
It just don't look like me
But, that's alright

[Outro]
'Cause you've given to me, yeah
(Ooh, you've given to me, now)
Oh, yeah
(Ooh, you've given to me, yeah)
That's what you did
The best years of my life (The best years of my life)
Everybody come and sing a song
(Ooh, you've given to me)
(Ooh, you've given to me, now)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
(The best years of my life)
Thank you baby, you've given to me
That's what you did, you socked it to me one time
You did it two me two times
Three times
(You've given to me)
Four times
(You've given to me)
Five times
(You've given to me)
Six times
(You've given to me)
Seven times
(You've given to me)
Eight times
(You've given to me)
Nine times
(You've given to me)
10 times
