Day after day your heart is breaking
'Cause you give yourself, but no one's taking
Your time will come, so try not to hurry
And when things get rough, try not to worry.

You have to do the best you can
You have to do the best you can.

I got a woman, I just can't please her
I try so hard, but it just don't matter
Never needed nothing like I need her love
But everything I do just ain't enough.

You have to do the best you can
You have to do the best you can.

Upon reflection, a different complexion will show
Don't you know perfection is just a direction to go?
People will talk 'cause they're always talking
But don't count your steps, just keep on walking.

You have to do the best you can
You have to do the best you can.
