Nat King Cole The Best Man Lyrics

Intro Verse:
I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks,
'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks.
Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be,
And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me.
Refrain:
She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door;
Edim A7 Dalt D G Edim D
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for.
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy.
But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins,
Edim A7 Dalt D G6 Cdim G6
But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins.
The way it all turned out, there was no doubt
That I was best man in the end;
Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend.
Instrumental interlude: first half of refrain
Repeat Second Half of Refrain
Coda:
So don't you think you're best til you pass the test
And you know all the ladies' tricks,
'Cause you'll wind up as the best man
While the other guy gets the chicks.
