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...
