"Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin)" lyrics - STEVIE NICKS

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...
