(Anita Baker, Skip Scarborough & Randy Holland)
Ain't there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me

Read my mind and 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 a stormy sea

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 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


My weary mind is rested
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song

And I think I want to 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 got, baby
I bet everything on my wedding ring

I'm giving you the best that I got, givin' it to you baby
