Lyrics
THE BEST IN ME
© 2007 Steven P. Richards
I KNOW I?VE ASKED YOU FOR CHANCES
YOU ALWAYS GAVE THEM TO ME
AND I CAN?T SAY THIS IS THE LAST ONE
BUT IT?S THE ONE I REALLY NEED
CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU COULD JUST HANG ON
THERE?S SOMEONE I?D LIKE YOU TO MEET
HE?S SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE
HE?S THE BEST IN ME
YOU NEVER MADE ME BEG YOU
YOUR PATIENCE CAME SO FREE
BUT NOW IT?S TIME THAT I SAVE YOU
FROM ALL THAT?S WRONG WITH ME
CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU COULD JUST HOLD ON
THERE?S SOMEONE I?D LIKE YOU TO SEE
HE?S SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONE
HE?S THE BEST IN ME
BRIDGE:
I KNOW HE'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE
IF YOU NEED A LITTLE RELIEF
WHEN THIS WORLD HAS YOU SO SCARED
I'LL BE THE BEST IN ME
CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU COULD JUST HANG ON
THERE?S SOMEONE I?D I?M TRYING TO BE
HE?S SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE
HE?S THE BEST IN ME
