Doing the Best That 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 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 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 cause 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

 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 the best that you can"
 Oh, and he says, "Ooh, I hear she's doing fine, and she's doing the best that she can"
 Oh, and I paid a price for it, I'm doing the best that I can
