Cookismyhomeboy,
Today is the first time I've ever read the "official" words, believe it or not. Every single time, of the thousands of times I've listened to this song, I thought he said, "Who never let the WORDS get the best of him." Today I see that the official lyric is WORST. Reading along and listening at the same time, I do hear that he does seem to be saying "worst." I never even had a question in my mind that he wasn't saying "words", but I do have to admit that it seems to be "worst."
These are supposed to be the official words. I'm just a little skeptical. Maybe more than one person typed them up. I've seen some inconsistencies, but maybe it's just the typist's style. This is the best we have. Maybe next time David will have the lyrics in the CD booklet where they belong, and then maybe they will be proofread a little better.
Worst? or Words?
