Best Boy In The World

< Part of the reason I like this song, and maybe I'm just a weirdo, but, part of the reason I like this song is that it doesn't HAVE to be a love  song- it can be a 'close, compassionate friends' song, which is NOT the same thing- but it's POSSIBLE for it to be a love song. Isn't that neat? A little something for everyone! :) And, actually, believe it or not, I do sort of have a tune for at least the first and last verses.>

You should've been happy,

Should've been smiling,

Your whole life.

You should've had it all,

Should've settled down,

With babies and a wife.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair,

That the best boy in the world,

Should have his heart broken,

By some good for nothing girl.

We don't have to be,

More than just friends,

But I hope that you can understand,

My understanding.

She didn't deserve you,

And you didn't deserve that;

It's cowardly and wrong,

To make someone hurt that bad.

But if you could,

You would go back.

I bet that you would go back,

I know that you would go back,

I'm sure that you would go back.

'Cause you're the best boy in the world,

And you'll never ever give up,

On that girl.*

You're not the kinda person,

That just  let's people go like that.

You should've been happy,

Should've been smiling,

Your whole life.

You should've had it all,

Should've settled down,

With babies and a wife.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair,

That the best boy in the world,

Should have his heart broken,

By some good for nothing girl.

It isn't fair, It isn't fair!

You're the best boy in the world.

You shouldn't be crying,

For some good for nothing girl.

     * Um, yeah, hi! Noticed the asterisk? Well, I don't normally put my editing notes in my blog posts- it looks sloppy, and people all end up singing different versions of the song, etc.- but on this one, I'm just going to. Yup- I couldn't make up my mind. SO, what do you think? Do you like the words in the song, or do you think I should change that line to "And you'll never ever ever stop loving that girl"? The reason I put the OTHER version in is because I thought that "Never ever ever" was just too many evers, but this IS a song, so that would be alright. I also thought that "never give up on" and "never stop loving" portrayed different feelings, which could differ from person to person. SO, if you have a preference or opinion on something else, feel free to shoot me a comment! :)
