Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She said you're nothin' special
Well, I don't understand
She said you need assistance
I just did the best I can
I do the best I can
[Verse 2]
She said don't come between us
All I see is clouds
She pushed me in the middle
I turned my head around and round
Around and round
[Verse 3]
But the most special friend
Is the one who leaves again
And the most special friend
Is the one who backs down
I do the best I can
I do the best I can
[Verse 4]
She said you should have seen us
Vanished in the crowd
A privatized adventure
In view of the whole town
In view of the whole town
[Verse 5]
I said that's your imagination
I was also there
For your information, baby
You were nowhere
You were nowhere
[Verse 6]
But the most special friend
Is the one who leaves again
And the most special friend
Is the one who backs down
You back down
I do the best I can
I do the best I can
[Verse 7]
But the most special friend
Is the one who grieves for a friend
And the most special friend
Is the one who backs down
You back down
I do the best I can
I do the best I can
