The Best Damn Thing
Rick Springfield

You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one


Gave you a reason to walk out on me that night

And go looking for Mr. Right

Cause I sure look like Mr. Wrong

A deer in the headlights, I stood there and lied

Made a ghost town of part of you

Sat there and cried while I shot down the heart of you

Couldn't decide if the end was the start of you

I shut my mouth and waited

In the mess that I created


Write your name in the sky for the world to see

Cause you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me

We're still standing now, you didn't cut the run, ooh

I was crying on the beach by the raging sea

Just a small town broken down refugee

Holier than thou, I caused the damage done

You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one


My mad season as vain as a bar room fight

Remote as a satellite

I was out of touch and out of time

Too long in the spotlight

So incomplete that I burned something beautiful

Out on the street I was walking delusional

Your body heat moves something immovable

I close my eyes and pray, yeah

From the mess that I have made


Write your name in the sky for the world to see

Cause you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me


We're still standing now, you didn't cut the run, ooh

I was crying on the beach by the raging sea

A broken down battle ground refugee

Holier than thou, I caused the damage done

You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one

I'm the lucky one

I'm the lucky one

I'm the lucky one


I know that it hurt and sorry don't even do it

A short pleated skirt and I jumped and I know I blew it

Threw me a lifeline, I'm sticking like glue to it

Held my breath and waited

From the mess that I created


Gonna write your name (gonna write your name)

Gonna write your name (gonna write your name)

Gonna write your name (gonna write your name)

Gonna write your name


Write your name in the sky for the world to see

Cause you're the best damn thing that ever happened to me

We're still standing now, you didn't cut the run, ooh

I was crying on the beach by the raging sea

Just a small town broken down refugee

Holier than thou, I caused the damage done

You're the best damn thing and I'm the lucky one
