i did my best

hold up in a dressing room without a dress

kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess

and i knew all about my surprised party

i was spoiled and deppressed

but i acted surprise and i told lots of lies

yes i did my best

stop the truck at the truck stop

i need something to help me crash

food stamp cheque and credit cards

but they only accepted cash

that was sweat beating on my brow

my heart was beating out of my chest

so i stole everything they couldn't give away

yes i did my best

and i did the best that i could do

with all the mess that i've been through

what did u expect me to do

i did my best for you

i was waiting for a chain reaction

with a missing link

waiting for that trickle down

forever circling the sink

i was tired of being tired

i could not get no rest

so i kept sleepwalking and talking in my sleep

yes i did my best

and i did the best that i could do

with all the mess that i've been through

what did u expect me to do

i did my best for you

i did my best for you

i did my best for you
