Doing The Best I Can Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

I'm doing the best that I can 

Hiding my head in my hands 

Proving without a conclusion or doubt a great deal 

More than you'll ever feel 

I'm giving up all that I know 

It's possible to do and so 

Here's to your mother 

Who though I loved no other than she 

Take off that silly grin 

Put back that double gin 

You'll need it in the morning 

If I leave you without warning 

I'm noticing words have been spoke 

Since the day I began being broke 

Now when I hear the smell 

Of sweet damn all I shall tell you 

Take off that silly grin 

Put back that double gin 

You'll need it in the morning 

If I leave you without warning 

I'm doing the best that I can 

Hiding my head in my hands 

Feeling the pinch and yet 

Somehow I can't forget you
