And I did the best I could
With what I had
When I first met you I promised
You the world
And it was all because you were my
Favorite girl
Pretty things
Like diamond rings
And all the things you never had
But I did the best I could
With what I had
I know you won't need a mansion
On the hill
A big fine car, a schauffer
At the wheel
But time passed on
And things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could
With what I had
And all I had
Was all the love
In the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard
Someway to get ahead
But the promises I made
Are broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could
With what I had
Yes, I did the best I could
With what I had
