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 wont 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 said 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
