It was one for you...it was three for me
It was very nice...it was everything
So here it is...in little pieces...
I just played the part...I didn't win or lose
Maybe next time I'll think about how I'm feeling...
Cause I'm doing the best that I can
And the whispered secrets...go on and on
No one says anything to anyone
You watch after her...and your word is law
She thought she was out there...but nobody saw
I didn't win or lose...I just threw the cards
But I paid a price for it...
And it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
And I'm trying hard to change...I'm doing it the best that I can
Well because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
Well it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
I was silent...I was locked away
But I covered my tears...
Silent all day
It's out of my hands here
In my distress...well I wanted someone to blame me
In my devastation...I wanted so to change
In my way...disaster was the only thing that I could depend on...
But it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
And then fortune causes nightmares...nightmares that make you crazy
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh he says, Well I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
Best that you can.
Well he says, Oh, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the
Best that you can.
Ooh she says, It's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can.
Yes it's alright, baby...I'm doing the best that I can
Oh and he says, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing it the
Best that you can.
Oh and he says, Ooh I hear she's doing fine and she's doing it
The best that she can.
Oh and I paid a price for it...
I'm doing the best that I can...
