Gary Lewis & The Playboys
The Best Man
[Verse 1]
At first it was just a game with us
You and I and my best friend
You were the girl we most admired
We both desired
So, one day we said, "May the best man win"

[Verse 2]
Next, when we knew that you must be
The girl that we'd been searchin' for
That was the day you had to choose
So, win or lose
We said once again, "May the best man win"

[Chorus]
Now, here I stand
The best man, but only at your wedding
He'll slip the ring on your finger tonight
And I'll slip away and out of your life

[Post-Chorus]
At first it was just a game with us
You and I and my best friend
Now, here I stand
Just the best man
[Chorus]
Now, here I stand
The best man, but only at your wedding
He'll slip the ring on your finger tonight
And I'll slip away and out of your life

[Post-Chorus]
At first it was just a game with us
You and I and my best friend
Now, here I stand
Just the best man
