I'll Do My Best lyrics - Badly Drawn Boy

I came here with nothing

I'm gonna leave with less

Lately there's been something

Laying heavy on my chest

It's hard for me to say it, but

I'm ready to confess

I've known for a while now

That I haven't been my best

It's hard to start a fire when it rains

Try to satisfy her for a change

I'll do my best

Don't settle for nothing less

Than my best

I've been undecided now

For most of my life

I took a vow to change this

When you said you'd be my wife

Now I've got not only

Myself to amuse

I've gotta try to make you happy

There's no excuse

A cold day in springtime

When you took my name

It's down to me to prove it

Wasn't taken in vain

It's hard to start a fire when it rains

Try to satisfy her for a change

I'll do my best

Don't settle for nothing less

Than my best

And it's no good making promises

If they fail and go wrong

I've been a fool for chasing happiness

When it was there

All along

All along

It's hard to start a fire when it rains

Try to satisfy her for a change

It's hard to start a fire when it rains

Try to satisfy her for a change

I'll do my best

Don't settle for nothing less

Than my best

And it's no good making promises

If they fail and go wrong

I've been a fool for chasing happiness

When it was there

All along

And it's no good making promises

If they fail and go wrong

I've been a fool for chasing happiness

When it was there

All along
