And the way I talk sometimes
 But you hate it most when I don't call at night

 And it's just because you love me
 And you worry 'bout your man
 You do the best you can with who I am

 Burnin' both ends of a candle
 Can leave one in the dark
 And I know what I put you through
 Is hard upon your heart
 And it's just that you're concerned for me
 Sweetheart, I understand
 You do the best you can with who I am

 You go to church on Sunday
 While I'm still home in bed
 Sleepin' off the night I had before

 And sometimes you say I'm perfect
 And sometimes not worth a damn
 You do the best you can with who I am

 Burnin' both ends of a candle
 Can leave one in the dark
 And I know what I put you through
 Is hard upon your heart
 And it's just that you're concerned for me
 Sweetheart, I understand
 You do the best you can with who I am
 You do the best you can with who I am
