Giving You the Best that I Got Songtext
von Anita Baker

Ain′t there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind and make me feel just fine
When I think my peace of mind is out
Of reach

The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me
And together we can calm a stormy sea

We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I tell you now that I made a vow
I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
Yes I tell you now, that I made a vow
I′m giving you the best that I got, honey

Everybody's got opinions
'Bout the way they think our story′s gonna end
Some folks feel it′s just a superficial thrill
Everybody's gonna have to think again


We love so strong and so unselfishly
They don′t bother me so I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, baby
They don′t bother me, said I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, listen baby

Somebody understands me
Somebody gave his heart to me
I stumbled my whole life long
Always on my own, now I′m home

My weary mind is rested
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
And I think I want to sing it forever
We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I made a vow so I tell you now
I'm giving you the best that I got, listen baby
I bet everything on my wedding ring
I'm giving you the best that I got
Givin′ it to you baby
