Anita Baker - Giving You the Best That I Got Lyrics

Ain't there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind, you 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 the stormy seas

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've 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

And the weary mind is rested
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
My fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
And I think I wanna 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've got, listen, baby
I bet everything on my wedding ring
I'm (giving you the best that I got)
Givin' it to you, baby

(Giving you the best that I got)
(Giving you the best that I got)
(Giving you the best that I got)
(Giving you the best that I got)
