My Best Was Good Enough - The Isley Brothers

Sittin' by the windows all alone

Tryin' to understand just what went wrong

The girl I love has gone away

But the reason why she left, she didn’t say

Perhaps she just got tired of makin' plans

And promises of things we never had

Well, I done my best, yet things got kind of worse

But for me, my best was good enough

Good enough

I tried to keep an open mind

That she would come to realize, in time

But as I go from day to day

I tell myself that there’s no other way

Perhaps she never, never understood

That this man was doin' the best he could

I wish the girl all the very, very best of luck

But for me, my best was good enough

Oh, my best, my best, baby

Oh, perhaps she never, never understood

That this man was doin' the best, the best he could

I wish the girl all the very best of luck

But for me, my best was good enough

My best, my best was good enough

But for me my best was good enough

I know, I know my best was good

Oh, my best was good enough

I wanna wish this girl

All the best of luck, I do

Oh, but for me, my best was good enough

Yes, it was

Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know my best is good enough, yeah

I wish you, baby

I wish you, baby

All the best of luck

Ah, yes, I do
