YOU'VE GOT THE BEST OF ME
>From the film "They Met In Argentina" (1941)
(Music: Richard Rodgers / Lyrics: Lorenz Hart)


Buddy Ebsen (Film Soundtrack) - 1941





Fair or foul, foul or fair
I've got you in my hair
Am I glad to have you there
No, Ma'am

Hot or cold, cold or hot
You've put me on the spot
Do you really care a lot
You, ma'am, do, ma'am, not

You've got the best of me
So take the rest of me
There's only one of me
So don't make fun of me
I think it's fair to me
To say take care of me
As I'd take care of you

I'm never sure of you
And that's the lure of you
I want the most of you
And not the ghost of you
Somehow in spite of you
I love the sight of you
So, go ahead and get the best of me
