“The Best of Me” was recorded during the sessions for 2003’s Permission To Land, but was not included in the final track-list. It was later released as a B-side on the “Get Your Hands Off My Woman” single.
[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
