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
