Doing The Best I Can |
| I’m only a man, darling |
| My life has been empty |
| Since you went away |
| I feel so very, very lonely |
| I just drift from day to day |
| I’m doing the best I can |
| Trying to get over |
| Doing the best I can |
| I’m brokenhearted |
| It’s my fault |
| Treated you wrong so many times |
| I just wanna talk |
| I’m just a man |
| Doing the best I can |
| Now darling |
| I’m doing the best I can |
| Each and every day |
| So many times |
| I know you gone away |
| Said I know you gone away |
| I miss you each and every day |
| Every, every, every, every day I just… |
| I get lonely, night after night |
| Wonder if I’m doing what’s wrong or if I’m doing what’s right |
| But I’m only a man, baby |
| Babe I’m only a man |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real and I’m doing the best that I can |
| I’m for real |
| Now baby |
| I’m for real |
| Now baby |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I sit down and I wonder |
| I’m for real |
| What and who and where |
| I’m for real |
| What have I been wrong, I wonder who cares |
| I’m for real |
| Tell me now |
| I’m for real |
| Is it right for me to suffer? |
| I’m for real |
| Yeah I stand with my head hangin' low |
| I’m for real |
| Wondering which way to turn |
| I’m for real |
| I don’t know just where to go |
| I’m for real |
| How long can I keep it up? |
| I’m for real |
| Tell me, tell me |
| I’m for real |
| How long, how long? |
| I’m for real |
| I need it |
| I’m for real |
| My darling, I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real, baby, but I want you to know |
| I’m for real |
| I miss you baby, darling I miss you so |
| I’m for real |
| I miss you, darling |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I’m for real |
| I miss you, darling |
| I’m for real |
| How long can I keep it up? |
| I’m for real |
| Night after night |
| I’m for real |
| Don’t know whether it’s wrong or right |
| I’m for real |
| But here I stand baby |
| I’m for real |
| With my head hangin' so low |
| I’m for real |
| Here I stand, baby |
| Baby do you know? |
| Do you know? |
| I remember when you were here with me |
| I remember when you were here |
| I remember when you were here with me |
| I remember me and Mrs. Jones |
| I remember me and Mrs. Jones |
| How we had a thing goin' on |
| Oh we were carryin' on |
| We were carryin' on |
| I know deep down inside I was wrong |
| I want you to help me |
| Help me, help me |
| Help me darling, show me the way |
| Come to you one more time |
| Show me the way |
| I wanna know a way |
| I’m standing here with my head hanging low |
| I’m standing here |
| I said I’m, I’m standing here |
| I’m standing here, me and Mrs. Jones |
| I’m standing here |
| I know we were wrong, I just want some help |
| Oh, baby |
| Now can you make another friend |
| Can you, can you make another |
| Can you make another |
| Oh, darling |
| Do you know what it means to have someone need you? |
| Want you? |
| Oh you cheated on me, you should not have left me here |
| Should not have left me here |
| Makes me wanna cry |
| I’m so lonely, but baby I’m just a man |
| Doing the best I can |
| I, I, I’m just a man |
| I’m just a man |
| I’m just a man |
