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...
