[Verse 1]
Try to be best 'cause you're only a man
And a man's gotta learn to take it
Try to believe though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it
History repeats itself
Try and you'll succeed
Never doubt that you're the one
And you can have your dreams
[Chorus]
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
[Verse 2]
Fight till the end 'cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you
Ah, gotta be proud, staring out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you
Try your best to win them all
And one day time will tell
When you're the one that's standin' there
You'll reach the final bell
[Chorus]
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
[Bridge]
Fight till you drop
Never stop, can't give up
Till you reach the top (Fight!)
You're the best in town (Fight!)
Listen to that sound
A little bit of all you got
Can never bring you down
[Chorus]
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
You're the best around
Nothing's gonna ever keep you down
