I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
So please stop
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
So please stop

Me now
There's no
Way around
Please just understand

Me now
There's one
Way to the ground
Please just understand

I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
So please stop
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
So fuck off

[?]
My head is full of knots
I want to pick your lock
Have you seen my other sock

I'm doing the best I can

I'm doing the best I can
So jump off
Me now
There's no
Way around
Please just understand

Me now
There's one
Way back down
Please just understand

You know I'm here to rock
My head is full of rocks
Show me how to pick your lock
I lost the key with my other sock

I'm doing the best I can
So fuck off




Notes:

  • where did you find such a clean recording?  This is great.

  • Another great song!

  • But then he realised that it was exactly how he felt. Watch "If all goes wrong" it explains it all.

  • This song is about someone he was hassling. He was asking his assistant (or someone) to do something and she said, "I am doing the best I can!" So he wrote this song as a kind of joke.

  • sorry :) i was writing I 'AM' doing the best i can...thats my mistake ..sorry..Otherwise..i have all SP song ever on Internet..I just cant see where to get this song...I own If All Goes Wrong DVD but there is a only cut version of it :(.Rspaa is down...could you send it to me? or upload it somewhere?

  • hm cool.

    i like be interpretation better tho...

  • i have the residency cd, and it has a comentary about this song, and it was created as a joke to someone that was helping him out with something and she did it very poorly, and he said he should just do it himself, and she said im doin the best i can

  • Out of all of the songs they created during the Asheville residency, this was my favorite. :)
