I get up (he gets up)
To see you wallow in defeat
I get down (he gets down)
With almost everybody I meet
Except you......

And I fail to see why I should care?
That you
Have had
36 years of pain
To share

So I did what I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me
Oh I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me...Yeah!

I get up (he gets up)
To see you look perpetually
I get down (he gets down)
To watch you fail spectacularly
Oh Boy!

And I fail to see why I should care?
That you
Have had
37 years of pain
To share

So I did what I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me
Oh I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me-e-e-e

(guitar solo)

Did what I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me
Oh I did what I do...for you
You've got the best of me mama mama-a-a
