Lyrics The Last Man On Earth by Grace Petrie

Another Friday night when your Plan A has fallen through
A Tinder date that sounded great was too good to be true, I guess
Besides love of adventure, sense of humour, zest for life
He just forgot to mention the new baby or the wife
Yeah, what a d**k

But there's no need to be lonesome when you've got the next best thing
So you block him on your socials and you give me a ring
And say you're in need of some sympathy, some sushi and Netflix
You know I'm always free for dinner when they bail on you at six

And I will be the best I can
I will be the best I can
I will be the best I can
But you won't choose me over the last man on earth

And how am I back here again, I've learned so many times
That I've run out of melodies and I've run out of rhymes
And I know this way lies insanity, I've seen it all before
But I know next time you need me I'll be right there at your door

And I will be the best I can (The best I can)
I will be the best I can (The best I can)
I will be the best I can
But you won't choose me over the last man on earth
And after all the chasing when you're tiring of this life
And you pick the least worst option and consent to be his wife
I'll plan the hen do in Chicago, I will be there at the altar
And you can be my Santiago though I can't be your Peralta

But I can be the best I can (The best I can)
I can be the best I can (The best I can)
I can be the best I can
And you still won't choose me over the last man on earth

Sometimes at last orders we've both had too much to drink
And you look at me for too long in a way that makes me think
You sometimes wish that things were different and it sometimes makes you sad
That I treat you better than the best boyfriends you've ever had

And I can be the best I can
I can be the best I can
I can be the best I can
But you still won't choose me over the last man

And I can be the best I can (The best I can)
I will be the best I can (The best I can)
I can be the best I can
But you won't choose me over the last man
And I can be the best I can (The best I can)
I will be the best I can (The best I can)
I will be the best I can
And you won't choose me
And darling don't you know you'll never lose me
Not to the last man

And I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
And you won't choose me over the last man (The last man on earth)

And I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
And you won't choose me over the last man (The last man on earth)

And I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
I can be the best I can (You wouldn't choose me over the last man on earth)
And you won't choose me over the last man on earth (The last man on earth)
