(Ooh)

For the way you changed my plans

For being the perfect distraction

For the way you took the idea that I have

Of everything that I wanted to have

And made me see there was something missing (oh yeah)

For the ending of my first begin

(Ooh yeah yeah) (ooh yeah yeah)

And for the rare and unexpected friend

(Ooh yeah yeah) (ooh yeah yeah)

For the way you’re something that I never choose

But at the same time something I don’t wanna lose

And never wanna be without ever again (oh oh)

You’re the best thing I never knew I needed

So when you were here I had no idea

You’re the best thing I never knew I needed

So now it’s so clear I need you here always

My accidental happily (ever after, oh oh oh)

The way you slime and how you comfort me (with your laughter)

I must admit you were not a part of my book

But now if you open it up and take a look

You’re the beginning and the end of every chapter (oh oh)

You're the best thing I never knew I needed (oh)

So when you were here I had no idea

You’re the best thing I never knew i needed (that I needed)

So now it’s so clear I need you here always

Who’d knew that I’d be here (who'd knew that I’d be here, oh oh)

So unexpectedly (so unexpectedly, oh oh)

Undeniably happy (hey)

Said with you right here, right here next to me (oh)

Girl you’re the

You’re the best thing I never knew I needed (said I needed, oh oh)

So when you were here I had no idea

You’re the best thing I never knew I needed (needed, oh)

So now it’s so clear I need you here always

Baby, baby

Now it’s so clear I need you here always
