I Still Miss Someone (Blue Eyes) - Stevie Nicks

Outside my door...the rain is falling
A cold, wild wind will come
Well there's someone for me...somewhere
But I still miss that one


No I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there


Well I wonder...if he's sorry
For ending what we had begun
Well there's someone...someone for me somewhere
Baby, well I still miss someone


And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Ooh baby, when all the love was there


And I never got over those blue eyes
I see them...everywhere...
And I miss...those arms that held me
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there
Baby, when all the love was there...

I Sing For The Things - Stevie Nicks

You say I have everything
Well, I'm living on dreams and chains
But, I sing for the things money can't buy


You say you don't believe
Well could you just look at me
Look deep into my eyes...my love


Well, have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run


I'll take off my cape for you
I'll take down my hair for you
Anything you want me to do...my love


Well, I'll sit home and wait for you
Oh, darling there's nothing that I'd rather do
Anything you want me to do...my love


Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone, baby
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run


You say I have everything
Well, I've been living on dreams and chains
I sing for the things that money can't buy me


Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run
Anything...my love
Anything...my love
Any thing...

I Pretend - Sandy Stewart

Someone's son, someone's man
Someone's inspiration, someone's friend
I depend on sleep to take me to you once again
And if I don't wake up to see
You standing here in front of me,
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend--S. Stewart


The faithful listen to your every word
I've followed for years and I've seen and heard,
Learned and laughed,
Idle nights with melodies and photographs
But if realize someday
You're unaware, too far away
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend--S. Nicks


And when you're old with time's demands
You can be my teacher, I'll be your hands,
Play the part,
Stop for nothing but to have you hold me,
Precious heart,
If I accept what cannot be,
No longer count on destiny
A dream won't die, a love won't end
'Cause you're forever mine
When I pretend

I Need To Know - Stevie Nicks

Talk on the town says I might go solo
A good friend of mine saw you leavin' by your back door


(Chorus)
I need to know I need to know
Well if you say you're gonna leave then you better say so
I need to know I need to know
Because I don't know how long
Well I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait
And you're leadin' me on
Ooh I need to know
I need to know


Who would've thought that I'd fall for his lies
All of a sudden it's me on the outside


(Chorus), guitar solo, (chorus)

"Take your violet and blue mornings with you!"

Hurry Boy - Tom Snow

Hurry boy, you must save yourself
You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's
Something here it's gonna take
You down it's gonna run your life
Don't turn around when you leave this town
You've got only one chance
Or you'll get caught up like the others
In this web of circumstance

In the town where I was born
There was a lady
Some called her crazy
But I think she's alright
She took me in one night
And was so gentle
Somehow I felt she'd been
Waiting for me

She spoke of love and war and sons and daughters
I drank some water and I fell into a dream
And in the dream I saw what lay before me
A young girl crying in a lonely churchyard scene
And as I lay there half asleep recalling
I heard this voice come calling
To me, to me
To me, to me
And you know it said

Hurry boy, you must save yourself
You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's
Someone here who's gonna take
You down she's gonna run your life
Don't turn around when you leave this town
You've got only one chance
Or you'll get caught up like the others
In her web of circumstance
Keep on running

I was confused and felt my senses falling
She did not tell me why when she broke the spell
And in the back of my mind I heard that lonely warning
It said keep on running, don't stop running
Keep on running away
Stumbling out into the misty morning
I couldn't help myself from looking back
And it was then I saw her for the first time
Laughing and crying, living and dying
And then I thought I heard that voice again
And she said

Hurry boy, you must save yourself
You gotta leave this town tonight 'cause there's
Someone here who's gonna take
You down she's gonna run your life
Don't turn around when you leave this town
You've got only one chance
Or you'll get caught up like the others
In her web of circumstance
Keep on running

How Still My Love - Stevie Nicks

Still the same old story
What price glory
You make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night...
How still my love
In the still of the night...
How still my...


Doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
Don't make it easy
In the still of the night
In the still of the night...
How still my love
In the still of the night...
How still my love


Standing...in the doorway
Watching out to sea
Calling out to me
You go...your way
Go on...go on
But you don't forget me
Ooo no...you don't forget me
Oooo no...my lonely one
You're doing all you can for me
They say you're not the man for me
Don't I make it easy
In the still of the night
It's...me...talking to you


How still my love...
In the still of the night...
How still my love...
In the still of the night...
It's me that's talkin' to you
In the still of the night

The Highwayman - Stevie Nicks

Alas he was the highwayman
The one that comes and goes
And only the highway-woman
Keeps up with the likes of those
And she in all her magic
With hands as quick as light
Took him to be a challenge
And went into the night


And he in all his glory
Was far ahead of her
But she was never sorry
For wishes that would burn
Enter competition
She chases beneath the moon
Her horse is like a dragonfly
She is just a fool


And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream


And then he sees her coming
Heartbeats on the wind
Considers slowing down
But then...he could never win
And she...out in the distance
Sees him against the sky
A pale and violent rider
A dream begun in wine


And she wonders is this real
Or does she just want to be Queen
And he fights the way he feels
Is this the end of the dream


A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her highwayman disappears
on a life already lived before
In eyes welled with tears


Today and still today they ride
Will they ever win
He the glory...
She the love...
Still they try again
He the glory...
She the love...
Still they try again
He the glory...
She the love...
And still they...try...again

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You - Stevie Nicks

Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song


And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world


Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world
Poet...priest of nothing
Poet...priest of nothing

Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac

So I'm back, to the velvet
underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace
and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy
that I was
To the gypsy...
that I was


And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy


To the gypsy that remains
faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love


She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all
that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy


Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you


And it all comes down to you


Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you


I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you


I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
(She was just a wish)
(She was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you


Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

Greta - Stevie Nicks

Rhinestone collections all the time
I wonder what Greta would say...


Another lady...another time...
Another heartbroken state of mind
Alone in her chambers...she dreams of her home
Outside...she's got a movie star view
Outcries...well where will the kings go...
Where will the kings go now?
She's got her eyes wide open...
And she's ready to stare you down
She says in words unspoken...she's from out of town
Well some cry...well I really don't dance down
Stormy weather...it cuts like a knife


CHORUS:
She's got her bags packed...
And she's off to the valley where the
sun meets the sea
You understand that...
She wants to live by the ocean...
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains...
The next day...the next day she leaves the station


(SOLO)


Do you really want to change her...
Or is it your right?


Ooh...alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
In a very real way...she's the purist art form
I bet she said...just how many art lovers can one
get to know?
She doesn't have an hour...
She doesn't have five minutes...
She's got to go!


CHORUS:
She's got her bags packed...
And she's off to the valley where the
sun meets the sea
You understand that
She wants to live by the ocean...
And no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains...
The next day...
the next day she leaves the station


I wonder what Greta would say
Well I wonder what Greta would say
I wonder what Greta would say
Ooh...she's got a movie star view
Oh...well where will the kings go...
Where will the kings go now?
Say Greta..

Gold And Braid - Stevie Nicks

Though deep set and somewhat shadowed
Her life... her mystery
Well it's not so different than the way that he said
"So don't hide your eyes from me that way, baby"


In his heart he wishes her stardom
His eyes want for her much more
That's not so different
Than the way that he said
"There are so very few stars left"


Don't hide behind your hair
It's a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
You see a pathway ending with a doorway
You slip toward the doorway
Been waiting there all day
All these years


Don't hide it
In his heart, he wishes to forget her
Like to make her better
And to hold her like a child


Don't hide your eyes that way
Don't hide anything not anymore
Because I never did not love you
I never did run from you
In a dream I said to you
That I'd always love you

Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac

Rock on--gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon,
And dig your grave


Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray


Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise--loves--to go down
Lousy lovers--pick their prey
But they never cry out loud


Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.


Rock on--ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow


Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale


Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.


Lyrics - live version on The Dance video:

Rock on Gold Dust Woman
Take your silver spoon
And dig your grave
Well its a heartless challenge
You pick your path
And then you pray
You wake up in the morning
You see your sunrise, loves, to go down
Lousy lovers
They pick their prey
But they never cry out loud
No they don't try out, cry out

Well did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Well is it over now
Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home

So rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadows
They say rulers,
They make bad lovers
You'd better put your kingdom up for sale
Well you'd better sell it, sell it

Well did she make you cry,
Make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love
Well is it over now ,
Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home

Well did she make you cry,
Make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love,
Now tell me is it over now
Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home
And go home
And go home....

Ooh pale shadow of a woman
Ooh black widow, ooh yeah
Ooh pale shadow, shes a dragon
Gold Dust Woman
Ooh pale shadow of a woman,
Ooh black widow, ooh yeah
Ooh pale shadow, shes a dragon
Gold Dust Woman
Runnin' in the shadows (woman)
Runnin' in the shadows (woman)
Runnin' in the shadows
Runnin' in the shadows
Said something
Runnin' in the shadows,
Gold Dust
Runnin' in the shadows,
Gold Dust
Runnin' in the Shadows,
Gold Dust
Runnin' in the shadows

Ghosts - Stevie Nicks

And the rain was there...
There were many nights...
And a few of them, were all that you had dreamed of
Love was the thing...
And you feel as if someone was following you
But you know you are wrong...
It's just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in


It's just the ghost of what you really want
And it's the ghost of the past that you live in
And it's the ghost of the future you are frightened of
So you look to your guardian angel


So long ago I was an innocent...
It had nothing to do with age
One day they were lovers...one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say


Well just the ghost of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
It's the ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you turn to your guardian angel


And a few of them were all that you really dreamed of
Love was the thing...
So the silver-haired girl looks for escapism


To feel the empty spaces she's feeling
She depends on her music like a husband
And she knows it's no good to fall in love again...
One day they were lovers...one day they were friends
There was nothing else to say


It's just the ghost of the past of what you want to be
And the ghost of the past that you live in
Ghost of the future that you're so frightened of
So you look to your guardian...


So you look...to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth...
Well some of them are way up there in heaven...


So you look...to your guardian angel
Some of them are here on earth...
Some of them are...way up there in heaven...heaven...

Get My Way - Sandy Stewart

Except your love,
Is there anything to leave behind
Yeah, you make you love
Better than you're making up your mind
And you give me all your reasons why
Why I can't convince you to stay
I'm so in love with you
So in love with you
I'll find a way


What can I do to you
What can I do, hey hey
To get my way
What can I do
To get my way with you


There's no ring
No ring around the roses now
And the saddest thing
Is living with a stranger in the house
But there's a new meaning to the words,
"I want you to be mine."
The words are meaningless
When they don't pass the test.
I've got to find. . .


What can I do to you
What can I do, hey hey
To get my way
What can I do
To get my way with you


Better think about it when you go
Ooh, I leave a light
On the terrace at night
You never know when you might. . .


What can I do to you
What can I do, hey hey
To get my way
What can I do
To get my way with you. . .


I'll do anything you say
I just want to get my way with you

Gate And Garden - Stevie Nicks

There is a gate
It can be guarded
Well it is not heaven
And it has a garden
So to the red rose
Grows the passion


And the guardian...
Well it's now you know
It's just a few days...away
It's now you know
And it's then
It's just a game...that...we...play
Someone steals it...


Someone...steals it away
Scares you to death
You don't give in to yourself
You give in to your friends
Don't send an answer
How many times...have you said


Do I love you
Well I always did...everynight
Nobody knows...nothing 'bout it


Well it's now you know
It's everywhere
You say...you seek the truth
I say all is fair
Don't send an answer
How many times...
Have you said...


Do I love you...everynight
Well I always did
Nobody knows...nothin' 'bout it
Wo...do I love you
Well I always did...everynight
Nobody knows...nothin' 'bout it
They know nothing 'bout it
They know nothing' 'bout it...


Do I love you...Ooo


Wo...
Do I love you...Ooo
Do I love you...Ahh
Do I love you...Ooo

Garbo - Stevie Nicks

I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone -- at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by -- turned to stone


You could be Garbo or even Marlene
You could be Marilyn...
Or you could forget


I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools


Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose


Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you musn't give it up for you're still but a guest


You could be Garbo or even Marlene...
Or you could forget

Frozen Love - Stevie Nicks

You may not be as strong as me
And I may not care to teach you
It may be hard to keep up with me
But I'll always be able to reach you


And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you; search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love


Life gave me you; the change was made
And there's no beginning over
You are not happy, but what is love?
Hate gave you me for a lover...


And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you; search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love

Freedom - Fleetwood Mac

Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honour, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind-blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen


Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool


Beautiful as you are
With that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected


Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
Well my intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool


It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way
That you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen,
fallen, fallen


Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool


Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen


Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Freedom
Come with me
Poor little fool
Freedom

Fire Burning - Stevie Nicks

(Burning...)
A huge fire was burning
And her eyes grew strangely bright
She turned around in her room...
What could she take and still survive the fire?
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion...
There is no fire burning...just a soul crying


So cry for me...take a little time...and then stop
It's just something that you cannot see...so stop!
She swings around on the second story...
"I'll get down," she says
Well there is no fire burning...just a soul crying


I will...you know
So I take it to the limit
I will...you know...as I always have
I understand your position...
I withdraw my decision
Well I've got no more information for you


So still there is a fire...that no one sees
She doesn't even see it either...
Or so everyone thinks...
But then again, there was a window
You know it's an illusion...
There is no fire burning...just a soul crying


There's no fire
There is no fire
Well there's no fire burning...just a soul crying...
(It's just a soul...crying...)

Finally Find A Girlfriend - Walter Egan

I remember how it was before I met my baby
I was sometimes lonely and sometimes crazy
I had a lot of girls to help me pass the time but
when she arrived I left it all behind

It's fine
It's fine
And she loves me so much I'm with her all of the time

It's fine I found a girl
Finally found a girl
Finally find a girlfriend, yeah yeah

And she made me understand what love can really mean
and now my nights are spent with more than dreams
I'm here to tell you now she loves me to the letter
and I must admit that I never felt better

It's fine
Yeah it's fine
And she loves me so much I'm with her all of the time

It's fine I found a girl
Finally found a girl
Finally find a girlfriend

Feel So Good - Walter Egan

So long...
I've been waiting so long
Just for someone like you
To happen along
And I know
Ooh, that I've been before
When I think of your smile
And I hear your song

For you make me feel so good
(Make me feel so good)
Make me feel better than I thought I could
I hope that it's understood
I love you so much,
'Cause you make me feel so good

Someday...
Ooh, I dreamed that someday
All the trouble and steam
Will be out of our way
I know...
Our time together's been short
Just believe what I say...
You remain in my heart...
There you stay

You make me feel so good
(Make me feel so good)
Make me feel better than I thought I could
I hope that it's understood
I love you so much,
'Cause you make me feel so good

You make me feel so good
(Make me feel so good)
Make me feel better than I thought I could
I hope that it's understood
I love you so much,
'Cause you make me feel so good

Enchanted - Stevie Nicks

Crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
And destiny says that I'm destined to fall...


Enchanted...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...


Why the sad face...oh darling...
Was it my darkness...shadow light
I mean to cause no trouble for you
That is the story of my life...


Enchanted...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...
Enchanted...wo it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted...well I hope you make it...


You were gone...you were gone from me
When I remember someone...I remember their dreams
In those dreams...that no one knows of
My destiny says that I'm destined to run...


Enchanted...Ooo...you thought you saw something in my eyes
Enchanted...it's a shame that you wanted me...
You didn't try...
Enchanted...well it's just a voice thru the night
Enchanted...well I hope you make it...


Enchanted...well...I hope you make it
Wo...wo...wo
I hope you make it

Edge Of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered


He was no more...than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
something within him
But the moment...that I first laid...
Eyes...on...him...all alone...
On the edge of...seventeen


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


I went today...maybe I will go again...
tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...
familiar
And I see you doing...
what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
and the voice from a choir
And a melody...nothing else mattered


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


The clouds...never expect it...
when it rains
But the sea changes colours...
but the sea...
Does not change
And so...with the slow...graceful flow..
of age
I went forth...with an age old...
desire...to please
On the edge of...seventeen


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


Well then suddenly...
there was no one...left standing
In the hall...yeah, yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs...and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird...singing...
come away...come away...


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


Well I hear you in the morning...
and I hear you...
At nightfall...
sometime to be near you...
Is to be unable...to hear you...
my love...
I'm a few years older than you...
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ...(repeat)

Dreams - Fleetwood Mac

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost


Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...Women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know


Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost
What you had...
And what you lost


Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...Women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know

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...
