Written by John Jackson
From the day we met, sparks have flown in the air
They could light the fire inside
But I won’t let them, no I won’t let them
I can tell by the touch of your words, and the smile in your eyes
You’d set everything aside
But I won’t let you, I can’t let you
I’m not a stranger to a one night stand, but
I know that guy…he won’t understand
After time for some careful reflection
I’ll steer my heart in a different direction
Please don’t take offense…your charm is second-to-none
Well I’m a long way from earning salvation
But I won’t give in to temptation
It’s never felt so right to end what hasn’t begun
It’s the best thing I’ve never done
There are times when it’s best to say what’s on your mind
But this one should be kept to yourself
Please don’t tell him, no please don’t tell him
I remember when he heard the same words from a truer love
There was nothing else he could think of
So please don’t say them, you must not say them
It took a very long time for him to try again
You know your best bet is with a man you can win, cause
After time for some careful reflection
I’ll steer my heart in a different direction
Please don’t take offense…your charm is second-to-none
Well I’m a long way from earning salvation
But I won’t give in to temptation
It’s never felt so right to end what hasn’t begun
When the grass seems greener on the other side
And your sunshine has turned to rain
Take a step back
Make sure you’re on the right track
Before you board another train
I know it’s hard to believe this is coming from me
I can hardly believe it myself
But I’ll do the right thing
This time I’ll do the right thing
After time for some careful reflection
I’ll steer my heart in a different direction
Please don’t take offense…your charm is second-to-none
Well I’m a long way from earning salvation
But I won’t give in to temptation
It’s never felt so right to end what hasn’t begun
It’s the best thing I’ve never done
(Ahhhhhh)
It’s the best thing I’ve never done
(Ahhhhhh)
It’s the best thing I’ve never done
(The best thing, the best thing, ooh)
(The best thing, the best thing, the best thing)
It’s the best thing I’ve never done
