My Latest Lyrics Review "Do Your Best and Don't Worry" By Cat Stevens

These words are transcribed without permission of Cat Steven in his album "Do Your Best and Don't Worry." You can find additions to the printed lyrics from the album on the Internet including his hand writing text while omissions may be stricken out. But after all the lesson is, you may not see what others see in you so read this great lyric and you would find yourself into a new you. Enjoy it but remember it is your life so it does not matter what other people say or think, just do your best and don't worry!


"Compare the best of their days
with the worst of your days
you won't win
with your standards so high
and your spirits so low
at least remember...
this is you on a bad day,
you on a pale day
just do your best and don't...
don't worry

The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
see the best of how they look
against the worst of how you are
and again, you won't win
with your standards so high
and your spirits so low
at least remember...
this is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress
just do your best and don't...
don't worry

The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
just do your best and don't...
don't worry
The way you watch yourself is oh, so unfair
just do your best and don't...
don't worry

The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
just do your best and don't...
don't worry

do your best and don't..."

3 In live performances of this song in 1995 and 1997,  Stevens sometimes sang "do your best and don't give up" instead of "do your best and don't and don't worry", or vice versa. There is even speculation that he sometimes changed "The way you watch yourself" to "The way you see yourself".
