[Verse 1]
I've been let down
I've been dragged around so long
I've been beggin', "Please?"
Give your love to me some more

[Chorus 1]
You got battle scars
Stripped across your heart
You know it's plain to see
And you can't have my number
But you can have the rest of me

[Verse 2]
Tell me, sweetheart
Do you fall apart sometimes?
And when she walks away
Do you try to say you're fine?

[Chorus 2]
And if you ever need a friend
If you ever need a little company
You can take up all of my time
But you can't take the rest of me

[Bridge]
But you can send me flowers every day
And never look at me the way
That other lovers often sometimes do
You can promise me you'll never leave me
Spend a lifetime trying to please me
But feelings are foreign to you
[Verse 3]
You know someday
When you're old and gray, you'll see
You can have everything
But you can't keep it under lock and key

[Chorus 3]
And if you ever need a friend
If you ever need a little sympathy
You can take all I have to give
But you can't take the rest of me

[Bridge]
But you can send me flowers everyday
And never look at me the way
That other lovers often sometimes do
You can promise me you'll never leave me
Spend a lifetime trying to please me
Feelings are foreign to you

[Verse 3]
You know someday
When you're old and gray, you'll see
You can have everything
But you can't keep it under lock and key
[Chorus 3]
And if you ever need a friend
If you ever need a little sympathy
You can take all I have to give
But you can't have the best of me

[Outro]
The best of me
The best of me
The best of me
You can take all that I have to give
But you can't have the rest of me
