I get up (he gets up)

To see you wallow in defeat

I get down (he gets down)

With almost everybody I meet

Except you......

And I fail to see why I should care?

That you

Have had

36 years of pain

To share

So I did what I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me

Oh I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me...Yeah!

I get up (he gets up)

To see you look perpetually

I get down (he gets down)

To watch you fail spectacularly

Oh Boy!

And I fail to see why I should care?

That you

Have had

37 years of pain

To share

So I did what I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me

Oh I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me-e-e-e

(guitar solo)

Did what I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me

Oh I did what I do...for you

You've got the best of me mama mama-a-a
