DOING THE BEST I CAN (ESCAPE FROM BERLIN) © 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...
