The Best Man

Nat King Cole

Transposer:

Intro: Verse I guess I’ve got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks ’Cause in that love department I know all the ladies’ tricks. Now I ran across a girl one day she was as sharp as a girl could be And I wasn’t surprised to hear her say that she really went for me. Melody Refrain She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door; She said I was the best man the fella she’d waited for. She said I was the best man at dancing and nobody can deny That when it came to romancin’ I was the A-plus number one guy. But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins But still I wasn’t worrried ’cause the best man always wins. The way it all turned out there was no doubt That I was best man in the end Yes I was the best man when she married my best friend Interlude: She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door She said I was the best man the fella she’d waited for That when it came to romancin’ I was the A-plus number one guy But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins But still I wasn’t worrried ’cause the best man always wins The way it all turned out there was no doubt That I was best man in the end Yes I was the best man when she married my best friend So don’t you think you’re best til you pass the test And you know all the ladies’ tricks ’Cause you’ll wind up as the best man While the other guy gets the chicks

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’un homme qui se vante de ses talents en amour, se considérant comme le meilleur choix pour les femmes. Il raconte avoir charmé une fille qui le voit comme l’homme idéal, mais la situation prend un tournant inattendu lorsqu’elle finit par tomber amoureuse de son meilleur ami. Malgré cela, il garde confiance et pense qu'en fin de compte, c'est lui qui aura le dernier mot, suggérant que le véritable gagnant dans l'amour n'est pas toujours celui qu'on attend. Dans le contexte des années dorées où le jazz et la romance étaient souvent liés, cette chanson joue avec les thèmes de la rivalité amicale et des complications amoureux, tout en mettant en lumière les dynamiques des relations. C'est à la fois léger et un peu amer, reflétant la complexité des sentiments humains.
