“You were the best fun I ever had
You gave me a love that couldn't be bad
You taught me things that I thought were rude
Oh, ohhh, you were the best girl I ever knew
(You were the best girl I ever knew)
We were a couple so much in love
We gave to each other over and above
You made my life and I'm glad
Oh, ohhh, you were the best fun I ever had
You were the best fun I ever had”
