  • I'm trying my best
    To keep you satisfied
    Let you get your rest
    While I stayed up all night

    And you don't wanna know
    How alone I've been
    Let you come and go
    Whatever state I'm in, ah

    Man, am I the greatest
    My congratulations
    All my love and patience
    All my admiration
    All the times I waited
    For you to want me naked
    Made it all look painless
    Man, am I the greatest

    Hm
    Oh-oh, hm

    Doing what's right
    Without a reward
    And we don't have to fight
    When it's not worth fighting for (fighting for), mm

    And you don't wanna know (know)
    What I would've done (done), hm
    Anything at all
    Worse than anyone
    Mm, ooh

    And man, am I the greatest (greatest)
    My congratulations (congratulations)
    All my love and patience
    All my admiration (admiration)
    All the times I've waited (waited)
    For you to want me naked (naked)
    I made it all look painless
    Man, am I the greatest

    The greatest
    The greatest, ah-oh
    I
    I loved you
    And I still do
    Just wanted passion from you
    Just wanted what I gave you
    I waited
    And waited

    Man, am I the greatest
    God, I hate it
    All my love and patience
    Unappreciated
    You said your heart was jaded
    You couldn't even break it
    I shouldn't have to say it
    You could've been the greatest Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas O'Connell
