Doing the Best I Can (Escape from Berlin)

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 doin' the best that I can

And the whispered secrets go on and on

No one says anything to anyone

You watch over 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 doin' the best that I can

And I'm tryin' hard to change, I'm doin' it the best that I can

Well, because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away

Well, it's alright, baby, I'm doin' it 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 doin' the best that I can

Yes, it's alright, baby, I'm doin' the best that I can

Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away

Ooh, and then fortune causes nightmares, nightmares make you crazy

It's alright, baby, I'm doin' the best that I can

It's alright, baby, I'm doin' the best that I can

Oh, he says, "Well, I hear you're doin' fine

And you're doin' the best that you can"

Well, he says, "Oh, I hear you're doin' fine

And you're doin' the best that you can"

Then she says, "It's alright, baby, I'm doin' the best that I can"

Yes, it's alright, baby, I'm doin' the best that I can

Oh, and he says, "I hear you're doin' fine

You're doin' it the best that you can"

Oh, and he says, "I hear she's doin' fine

She's doin' it the best that she can"

Oh, and I paid the price for it

I'm doin' the best that I can
