Lyrics
Do The Best You Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you come across
The guy who thinks he's boss
Yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
Won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Please be kind to those
Who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
You'll maybe make a friend
If you leave your car
And you're not going far
Remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
A Rita waiting in a mac
chorus
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Do the best you can
