Giving You The Best That I Got
|
|
Ain't there something I can give you
|
In exchange for everything you give to me
|
Read my mind and make 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
|
|
We 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
|
|
We 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
|
|
My weary mind is rested
|
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
|
Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
|
And I think I want to sing it forever
|
|
We 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, baby
|
I bet everything on my wedding ring
|
I'm giving you the best that I got,
|
givin' it to you baby
|
