The rope round my neck The streak in my hair The spring in my step From the socks that I wear And when I play this song, It's like I'm still there And you don't know what it means to me Cos I try my best to be the best that I can I want so much to be everybody's friend Well if it's supposed to hurt It hasn't done yet The best of the few That haven't been met And the simplest thing could remind me of that That soft-spoken lie I'll never forget Sing! I try my best to be the best that I can I want so much to be everybody's friend Oh yeah, I try my best to be the best that I can
I try so hard to be everybody's friend And I try Yes I try I want so much to be It's in my heart to be I try so hard to be It's in my heart I try my best I try my best And no, I don't sleep I never rest My aching heart Is emptiest When I'm alone The way that I think, It seldom makes sense The words don't come out The way they were meant So if I'm quiet Please don't take offence Cause you don't know what it means to me No, you don't know what it means to me No, you don't know what it means to me No, you don't know what it means to me No, No, No, No...
