You're The Best Around Lyrics
Joe Esposito
Lyrics
Try to be best cause you’re only a man
and a man’s got learn to take it
Try to believe while the going gets rough
that you gotta hang tough to make it
history repeats itself, try and you’ll succeed
Never doubt that you’re the one
And you can have your dreams
You’re the best around
nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the best around
nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
You’re the best around
nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Fight to the end
cause your life will depend on the strength
that you have inside you
Ahh, gotta be proud
Standing out in the crowd
when the odds and the game defy you
Try your best to win the moment one date I will tell
When you’re the one that’s standing there you reach the final bell
You’re the best around
nothing’s gonna ever keep you down
Fight ‘til you drop
Never stop
Can’t give up
Fight!
you’re the best in town
Fight!
Listen to that sound.
