Nobody believes that I really care for you
They don't think my heart is true
I don't think you agree
You know I'm a lifetime guarantee

So if they ask you what you mean to me
Don't call it love, heavens above
We got a better thing
Don't call it love, that ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything

Nobody believes
We got something they ain't got
They never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
We're burning as bright as any star

So if they ask you what your feelings are
Ah, don't call it love, heavens above
We got a better thing
Please don't call it love, that ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything

(Feels so good) Feels so good
(Holding tight) Holding tight
(Tight and close) Through the night
(Through the night)
They can call it what they like
They ain't got it right

Please don't call it love, heavens above
We got a better thing
Honey, don't call it love, that ain't enough
Tell 'em, tell 'em you're my everything
Ha, don't call it love (Heavens above)
Oh, we got a better thing
Ha, don't call it love, that ain't enough
Tell 'em, tell 'em you're my everything
Oh, don't call it love (Heavens above)
Oh (We got a better thing)
Oh

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
