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 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."

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...
