[outro]
Ah, hey you'll see, I'll make you
make the best of what's around.
Oh if you come to me, tears spilling down,
all I will say to my friend, "make the best of what's around."
Best of What's Around, The
main lyrics
Hey, my friend, it seems your eyes are troubled
care to share your time with me?
would you say you're feeling low, and so
a good idea would be to get it off your mind

See you and me have a better time than most can dream
have it better than the best
so can pull on through
whatever tears at us
whatever holds us down
and if nothing can be done
we'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but who you're with
that really matters
that really matters
and hurt's not much when you're around
when you're around

And if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing
you may find you're missing all the rest
well, she ran up into the light, surprised
her arms are open, her mind's eye is

Seeing things from a better side than most can dream
on a clearer road, I feel
oh, you could say she's safe
whatever tears at her
whatever holds her down
and if nothing can be done
she'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but what you think
that really matters
that really matters
that really matters
that really matters, yeah

See you and me have a better time than most can dream
have it better than the best
so can pull on through
whatever tears at us
whatever holds us down
and if nothing can be done
we'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but who you're with
that really matters
that really matters, hey
and hurt's not much when you're around
when you're around
hey, la la

Always try, always try make the best of what's around
the best of what's around
so baby [?] my head
everyday, everyday
make the best of what's around
so I'll be alive
all I need is love
got to make, man, the best of what's around
