Story Behind The Song

Thinking of a person that I loved and just started thinking of all the other things I loved and began to wonder aloud what's better than love for her...grandma' collard greens, jelly beans, ice cream, etc.

Song Description

The first verse goes identifies some pretty recognizable, classic things that everybody loves and then the chorus challenges with the notion that none of these things is better than the love he has for the girl. The second verse does the same thing with more contemporary items (Kobe's autograph, Oprah's bank accoutn). Chorus still counters with nothin's better. Similar pattern in the bridge. The final verse takes a turn and goes into an intimate scene between the guy and his love. The intimate description is offered as proof that nothin's better.

Lyrics

What's better than your love?
What's better than your love?
Nothings better.....

Fireworks on the 4th of July
A pretty baby's smile
The twinkle in its eye
Hide and go seek
Christmas presents don't peek
Grandma's collard greens
Jelly beans, ice cream

CHORUS
What's better than your love?
What's better than your kiss?
What's better than your touch?
Better than your lips?
Nothin's better (2X)
Nothing else can compare

McDonald's French fries
Flashy diamond rings
Puppy dogs and kitty kats
Any gift Santa brings
A shiny new car
Kobe's autograph
Oprah's bank account
Silly jokes that make you laugh

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The first snowfall
The perfect day dream
Run, play, swim, sing
You're all of the good things
Nothin's better (2X)
You're all the good things in life

Your ring on my hand
My love your in heart
Your toes on my toes
My nose on your nose
My kiss for your kiss
Ain't nothing else like this
Throw the clock away
Making love all day
Nothin's better (2X)
Nothing else anywhere

Can't find it anywhere
Won't find it anywhere (repeat)
What's better?
Nothin's better?
