The Best of Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
I get up (He gets up)
To see you wallow in defeat
I get down (He gets down)
With almost everybody I meet

[Pre-Chorus]
Except you, and I fail to see why I should care
That you have had thirty-six years of pain to share

[Chorus]
I did what I did, what I did for you
You've got the best of me
Oh, I did what I did for you
You've got the best of me, yeah

[Verse 2]
I get up (He gets up)
Singular perpetually
I get down (He gets down)
To watch you fail spectacularly

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh boy, and I fail to see why I should care
That you have had thirty-seven years of pain to share
[Chorus]
I did what I did, what I did for you
You've got the best of me
Oh, I did what I did, for you
You've got the best of me, ee-hee

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Did what I did, what I did for you
You've got the best of me
Oh, did what I did for you
You've got the best of me, mama-mama, yeah
