Bettye LaVette - Divas of the Disco

Doin' the Best That I Can

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Doin' the best that I can

I'm doin' the best that I can
To get out of mind what's out of my hand
Yes, I'm doin' the best I can
Doin' my best to forget about you

Since you left me, I've changed my ways
I'm open all night and I sleep days
Walk around with a thick haze
Hangin' over me

And I try not to think, but just carry on (carry on)
Smile and act just like nothing's wrong (nothing's wrong)
'Til the radio plays the song
That takes me back to you

And I'm doin' the best that I can (doin' the best that I can)
To get out of my mind (out of my mind)
What's out of my hand (out of my hand)
Yes, I'm doin' the best I can
Doin' my best to forget about you

I stay away from my waterfall (ooh, ooh)
Don't carry a dime, so I won't call
Try not thinkin' 'bout you at all
As often as I can

And I've almost stopped runnin' to answer the door (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't reach to hold you that much no more (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't follow cars that look like yours (ooh, ooh-ooh)
For more than a block or two

And I'm doin' the best that I can (doin' the best that I can)
To get out of my mind (out of my mind)
What's out of my hand (out of my hand)
Doin' the best I can
Doin' my best to forget about you

And our friends see me once in a while
Don't wanna get in between
They don't say if they've seen you around
I've got to just as well

Doin' the best that I can
Doin' the best that I can
Doin' the best that I can
The best that I can

Doin' the best that I can
To get out my mind (out of my mind)
What's out of my hand (out of my hand)
Doin' the best that I can
Doin' my best to forget about you
Oh-ooh, oh, ooh-oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Doin' my best to forget about you, baby

Doin' the best I can (oh, my)
To get out of my mind (oh, ah)
What's out of my hand (oh, ah-ah-ah)
Yes, I'm doin' the best that I can
Doin' my best to forget about you (ooh, ooh)

Doin' the best that I can (ooh-ooh)
The best that I can
Whoa!

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Doin' the best that I can
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Doin' the best that I can

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm doin' the best that I can (doin' the best that I can)
To get out of my mind (out of my mind)
What's out of my hand (out of my hand)
I'm doing the best I can
Doin' my best to forget about you

Yes, I'm doin' the best that I can (oh-ooh, oh)
To get out of my mind
What's out of my hands (ah, ah, ah, baby)
I'm doin' the best that I can
Doin' my best to forget about

Oh, ah, ah
Doin' the best that I can (ooh, ooh)
Oh, ah, ah-ah
Doin' the best that I can (ooh, ooh)

Oh, ah, ah
Doin' the best that I can (ooh, ooh)
Oh, ah, ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Doo, doo, doo, ooh
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Oh, ah, ah-ah
Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, ooh, ooh-ooh
