| 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 won’t 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 sad
|
| 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 I’ve 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… |
