Lyrics

[Intro]
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
[Verse 1]
I'm hardly perfect, I'm barely good
Just shy of greatness, ah, ah
I'm heavy metal, I'm hollow wood
Just shy of patience, ah, ah
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[Chorus]
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
[Verse 2]
Oh doctor, doctor
I have no clue
A modern beauty, ah, ah
So fix my face up
With diet glue
And science fiction, ah, ah
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[Chorus]
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[PreChorus]
Me, I want to walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I want to feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I want to think a little bit smarter
Said, I just want to be the best
[Chorus]
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
I just want to be the best
