[Verse 1]
Who do you think you are?
What do you think this is?
A game you can play trying to steal him away?
Well, I don't need a heartache like this

[Verse 2]
Well, don't think I don't go through hell
But heaven is what we both want
He's easy to love, but he's hard to give up
And if you think I will, well, you're wrong

[Chorus]
The best woman wins
I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

[Verse 3]
This soap opera play that we're in
Is just like you watch on TV
But I never thought that I'd ever get caught in it
Starring you, him, and me

[Verse 4]
In love, as in war, all is fair
So a fight to the finish begins
When you fight from desire, you fight fire with fire
So may the best woman win

[Chorus]
The best woman wins
I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

So may the best woman win
May the best woman win
May the best woman win
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win
The best woman win
The best woman win
The best woman win
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win
May the best woman win
May the best woman win
Best woman win
I'll never give up or give in
So may the best woman win

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
