Lyrics

Weeh-ah-ooh Oh-oh-oh Ain't there something I can give you In exchange for everything you give to me Read my mind just let me feel just fine When I think my peace of mind is out of reach The scales are sometimes unbalanced And you bear the weight of all that has to be I hope you see that you can lean on me And together we can calm a stormy sea With love so strong and so unselfishly And I tell you now that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, baby Yes, I tell you now, that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, honey Everybody's got opinions 'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill Everybody's gonna have to think again With love so strong and so unselfishly They don't bother me So, I'm gonna keep on giving you the best that I got, baby They don't bother me Said I'm gonna keep on giving you the best that I got, listen, baby Somebody understands me Somebody gave his heart to me I stumbled my whole life long Always on my own, now I'm home And my weary mind is rested And I feel as if my home is in your arms My fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song And I think I wanna sing it forever With love so strong and so unselfishly And I made a vow so I tell you now: I'm giving you the best that I got, listen, baby I bet everything on my wedding ring I'm (giving you the best that I got), givin' it to you baby Mm-mm-mm (giving you the best that I got) Giving you the best that I got Giving you the best that I got Giving you the best that I got
