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 didnt win or lose
Maybe next time Ill think about how Im feeling
Cause Im 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 didnt win or lose… I just threw the cards
But I paid a price for it
And its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
And Im trying hard to change… Im doing it the best that I can
Well because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away
Well its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
I was silent… I was locked away
But I covered my tears
Silent all day
Its 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 its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
Yes its alright, baby… Im 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
Its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
Its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
Oh he says, Well I hear youre doing fine and youre doing the best that you can.
Well he says, Oh, I hear youre doing fine and youre doing the best that you can.
Ooh she says, Its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can.
Yes its alright, baby… Im doing the best that I can
Oh and he says, I hear youre doing fine and youre doing it the best that you can.
Oh and he says, Ooh I hear shes doing fine and shes doing it the best that she can.
Oh and I paid a price for it
Im doing the best that I can
