Gave my best, gave my all

Forced me up against the wall

Tired of tryin to make it right

And I know it was wrong


All along I close my eyes

Things I should known was high

'Stead I fell for your disguise 

And you saw my demise


(Chorus)

And I'm still standing here

Through my pain I spread my tears

And I still smile, cause it's alright

You did me poor but I survived


(x2)

I gave my best years to you

Didn't I

Gave my best years to you

Didn't I 

Give my best years to you

Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I?


Didn't I trust you man

Treat you like you were my king

Tried to help but ??? but you was on the sly


But I'm still standing here

Through my pain I spread my tears

And I still smile, cause it's alright

You did me poor but I survived


Using me, playing me, betraying me...

No, no, no, no


(x2)

Didn't I 

Give my best years to you

Didn't I

Give my best years to you

Didn't I 

Give my best years to you

Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I?
