Lyrics

Alright, so I, I thought about ending the record there

That felt like a good fun outro

But then I realize there's one more song and it's

The most important song and it's

The one that Howard made me record for my mixtape

I have this record called "Mookie's Gay Mixtape"

Um, thank you

And as I was putting it together he said

What about your version of "The Best"?

And I was like, eh it's kind of like a Schitt's Creek rip off

Like, I don't really feel like I brought anything to that song

And he's like no, it's a great cover

You need to record that and put it on there and, um

I'm glad that I did I got to play it for him, ah

Before he went to the hospital and

Then he was playing it for his nurses and

It was very embarrassing but he was but, yeah

So I'm glad I got to play it for him and

I realize I need to do that for his tribute, um

But it didn't feel right to do it in the same key

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

It just felt too, too up so I thought

Maybe to make it more intimate I'd drop it

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

And that was the one I felt like

That's the very bottom of my range and

All I can do there is whisper and it felt like

This song is just a whisper from me directly to Howard

So this is, this is for you Howard, it's "The Best"
