The best of you is wonderful The rest of you, so terrible The best of you is wonderful The best of you is wonderful The rest of you, so terrible The best of you is wonderful I miss having you around Aggressive and ninety pounds But after an hour or so I wait, wanting you to go To where a thought's left alone In ventures through icy zones The best of you is wonderful The rest of you, so terrible The best of you is wonderful You've done it for me again And, frankly, I'm stirred again With mouthfuls of sour grapes I try telling mirrored shapes Perhaps for a little while A war zone in Israel A citizen's feeling ill A stain on a gorgeous dress Bless me, bless you Just in time, I found you out just in time (Time's not just) You showed signs of leaving me, count to nine (Count it! Count it!) The best of you has always been wonderful (Bore me, bore me) The rest of you has always been terrible Well kind of ... well The best of you is wonderful The rest of you, so terrible The best of you is wonderful Of letters I've kept and read The one that you sent me bled At edges, at odds with sense And still I sit on this fence Perhaps for a little while Knock out -- I'm on the floor (The floor, the floor) Knock out another door I'll never stay in your way All you have to do is say Just in time, I found you out just in time (Time's not just) You showed signs of leaving me, count to nine (Count it! Count it!) The best of you has always been wonderful (Bore me, bore me) The rest of you has always been terrible Well kind of ... well The best of you is wonderful The rest of you, so terrible The best of you is wonderful The best of you The rest of you The best of you What's left of you

You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me" And when I looked the moon had turned to gold Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me" And when I looked the moon had turned to gold Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own
