I Did The Best I Could (with What I Had)

(And I did the best I could with what I had)

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 chauffeur at the wheel

But time passed on and things went wrong and all you ever got was said

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 are 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
