Anita Baker - Giving You The Best That I Got




....



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

Giving it to you, baby



Giving you the best that I got
