Well I know you hate my drinkin´
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
