I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
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
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
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
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller
Oh me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger
Oh me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
