Lyrics
There's plenty 'bout me that I don't like
Expressing self-awareness of personal flaws and imperfections.
Most mistakes I've made, I made them twice
Acknowledging repeated mistakes and lessons learned.
Sometimes I don't live out the words I say
Admitting occasional failure to live up to one's spoken words.
And I just can't stay out my own way
Struggling with self-destructive tendencies or behaviors.
But my good intentions overflow
Positively highlighting abundant good intentions.
Way down deep inside my bones
Emphasizing the depth of positive qualities within oneself.
Though my head's been known to give me hell
Acknowledging internal conflicts or struggles in the mind.
This heart of mine is just something else, yeah
Contrasting the challenges in the mind with the uniqueness of the heart.
But the best part of me, part of me is you
Declaring that the most valuable aspect of the speaker is the person addressed (the "you").
Is you, is you
Repeating the emphasis on the significance of the addressed person.
Yeah, the best part of me, part of me is you
Reiterating that the best part of the speaker is the addressed person.
Is you
Continuing to stress the importance of the addressed person.
I got my old man's baby blues
Describing physical traits inherited from the speaker's father.
And his daddy's taste for whiskey too
Highlighting a shared preference for whiskey inherited from the speaker's grandfather.
My brother's love for rock 'n' roll
Indicating a shared love for rock 'n' roll inherited from the speaker's brother.
And my momma's southern gospel soul
Pointing out a connection to southern gospel music inherited from the speaker's mother.
But the best part of me, part of me
Reaffirming that the most valuable part of the speaker is the addressed person.
Is you, is you
Repeated emphasis on the importance of the addressed person.
Yeah, the best part of me, part of me
Continuing to stress the significance of the addressed person.
Is you
Reiterating that the best part of the speaker is the addressed person.
Something takes over me
Expressing a transformative feeling when in the presence of the addressed person.
Every moment you hold my hand
Highlighting a special connection when holding hands with the addressed person.
Hearts beating time
Describing a synchronized heartbeat and a sense of alignment in the universe.
As the starts all align and I understand
Understanding and clarity achieved through the relationship with the addressed person.
That the best part of me, the best part of me, oh
Affirming that the most valuable part of the speaker is the addressed person.
Yeah the best part of me, part of me
Repeating the sentiment that the addressed person is the best part of the speaker.
Is you, oh
