The Best Of Me





You come and you go
And you tell me when you're gonna stay
But, baby you never know
When I might say "no way"!

You talk real cool
And you joke about me with your friends
But , listen up fool
'Cause this is where it ends

The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta decide what you're gonna do
The best of me
To get the best of me
'Cause I'm never gonna give the best of me
To a man who acts like you

You drink and you smoke
And you stay out late every night
But, baby it's no joke
You got to treat yourself right
Your body's a temple
It's a sacred thing boy
It's not a toy
For you to go and destroy


The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta decide what you're gonna do
The best of me
To get the best of me
'Cause I'm never gonna give the best of me
To a man who acts like you

You think you know what a woman should be
But, no real woman's ever gonna live up to your fantasy
You've been waiting for me to make everything right
Now it's time for you to love yourself and to let in some light

The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta decide what you're gonna do
The best of me
To get the best of me
'Cause I'm never gonna give the best of me
To a man who acts like you


The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta stay straight and decide
You got to treat me with respect
Stop going out and getting wrecked
And appreciate I'm here by your side



The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta decide what you're gonna do
The best of me
To get the best of me
'Cause I'm never gonna give the best of me
To a man who acts like you

You got to treat me with respect
Sometimes pick up the check
Gotta stay straight and decide
Be glad I'm by your side

The best of me
To get the best of me
You gotta decide what you're gonna do
The best of me
If you want to get the best of me
You're gonna have to give the best of you
