my best was good enough

Singer:isley brothers, the

sittin' by the windows all alone

tryin' to understand just what went wrong

the girl i love has gone away

but the reason why she left

she didn't say

perhaps she just got tired of makin' plans

and promises of things we never had

well

i done my best

yet things got kind of worse

but for me

my best was good enough

good enough

i tried to keep an open mind

that she would come to realize

in time

but as i go from day to day

i tell myself that there's no other way

perhaps she never

never understood

that this man was doin' the best he could

i wish the girl all the very

very best of luck

but for me

my best was good enough

oh

my best

my best

baby

oh

perhaps she never

never understood

that this man was doin' the best

the best he could

i wish the girl all the very best of luck

but for me

my best was good enough

my best

my best was good enough

but for me my best was good enough

i know

i know my best was good

oh

my best was good enough

i wanna wish this girl

all the best of luck

i do

oh

but for me

my best was good enough

yes

it was

yeah

i know

i know

i know

i know

i know

i know

i know

i know

i know my best is good enough

yeah

i wish you

baby

i wish you

baby

all the best of luck

ah

yes

i do
