i did my best
Holed up in the dressing room without a dress Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess And I knew all about my surprise party I was spoiled and depressed Hey I acted surprised 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 stamps, checks and credits cards, but they only accepted cash There 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 you expect me to do I did my best for you I was waiting for a chain reaction with the 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 sleep-walking 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 you expect me to do I did my best for you.
