[Spoken: Billie Eilish]
Okay
[Intro: Billie Eilish]
Hm
Oh-oh-oh
Hm, hm
[Verse 1: Billie Eilish]
I'm trying my best
To keep you satisfied
Let you get your rest
While I stayed up all night
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish & Finneas]
And you don't wanna know
How alone I've been
Let you come and go
Whatever state I'm in, ah
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
Man, am I the greatest?
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
Made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest?
[Post-Chorus: Billie Eilish]
Oh-oh-oh
Hm
[Verse 2: Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish & Finneas]
Doing what's right
Without a reward
And we don't have to fight
When it's not worth fighting for, mm
[Pre-Chorus: Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish & Finneas]
And you don't wanna know, oh
What I would've done, oh
Anything at all, at all
Worse than anyone
Uh, oh
[Chorus: Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish & Finneas]
Man, am I the greatest?
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest?
[Bridge: Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish & Finneas]
The greatest, ah-ah-ha
Ah-ah
The greatest
I, uh-uh
I, I loved you
And I still do
I just wanted passion from you
Just wanted what I gave you
I waited
And waited
[Outro: Billie Eilish]
Man, am I the greatest?
God, I hate it
All my love and patience
Unappreciated
You said your heart was jaded
Couldn't even break it
I shouldn't have to say it
You could've been the greatest
[Spoken: Billie Eilish]
Thank you, guys
This is nervewracking for me, um
Tiny Desk, this is so cool. I've wanted to do this, like, my whole life, so I'm a little shaky. I'm really excited to be here, and you're all so beautiful, so thanks for watching and having me
