(Performed with Buju Banton)
Watch this Beres!
Woman sing all about dere wanting this
Hear why!
Thought I could live without you (Eh-eh)
Saw nothing special about you
But still you were plauging my mind
I used to take you for granted
You were the last name in my life
Presently you're the most wanted
At the top of my life
And it was yesterday when
I saw you down my lady
You were with my best friend (Jealousy reign)
All (trop-a-tane?) (Talking game) (And!)
And now I'm falling in love
All over again, yeah
How could I ever doubt
That you were my friend (I'm)
Falling in love (Falling)
All over again (Over and over - Watch this!)
How could I ever doubt
That you were my friend (Beres!)
Who

Yuh never miss di water
Till yuh well run dry
Could yuh find it in yuh heart
To give me one more try
I won't abuse the situation
This time I won't lie

Also mi lullaby
Well she squeeze orange juice
An mi eggs well fried
Garments well cleaned
From mi socks to mi tie

Now I'm falling in love
All over again (It's only natural)
How could I ever doubt

In “I’m Gonna Do My Best,” Buju Banton and Beres Hammond collaborate to sing about falling in love all over again, and the regret one can feel when they had taken their partner for granted. Beres starts the song by stating that he never thought he could live without his partner, but he also couldn’t see anything special about her, and she was the last name in his life. However, now she’s the most wanted and has won his heart all over again. Buju Banton also sings about the importance of not taking love for granted and how even big men cry when they realize how much they need their loved ones.
The song is an R&B and reggae fusion that combines both artists' skills and musical styles to create a soulful and uplifting track. The lyrics reinforce the notion that people should never take their loved ones for granted and should cherish them every day. The song has a mellow and melancholic feel, with a slow drum beat and jazzy brass and guitar riffs. The horns and strings give the song a classic feel that is both heartfelt and lively.
Overall, the song is a reminder that love is worth fighting for, and one should never give up on it, no matter how tough things get. The song also emphasizes the importance of friendship and honesty in a romantic relationship, and how important it is to communicate and express one's emotions freely.

Thought I could live without you (Eh-eh)
I believed I could continue my life without you
Thought everything would be fine
I thought my life would remain alright
Saw nothing special about you
I did not see anything unique in you
But still you were plauging my mind
Yet, I could not stop thinking about you
I used to take you for granted
I underestimated your worth before
You were the last name in my life
You held the least significance in my life
Presently you're the most wanted
Now, you are the most desired in my life
At the top of my life
You are now my priority
And it was yesterday when
I remember when
I saw you down my lady
I saw you with my girlfriend
You were with my best friend (Jealousy reign)
You were seen with my closest pal (causing me to become envious)
All (trop-a-tane?) (Talking game) (And!)
It seemed like a conversation was going on or people were gossiping
And now I'm falling in love
Now I am in love once again
How could I ever doubt
I cannot believe I ever mistrusted
That you were my friend (I'm)
That you were my trusted companion
Falling in love (Falling)
I am in love (falling)
Over and over - Watch this!
Repeatedly, I cannot believe this is happening
Who
People say that
Say that big man don't cry
A grown man should not weep
Yuh never miss di water
You do not recognize the value of something until you lose it
Till yuh well run dry
Until you have entirely depleted a resource
Could yuh find it in yuh heart
Would you be able to forgive me?
To give me one more try
Give me another chance
I won't abuse the situation
I will not misuse the opportunity
This time I won't lie
I will be truthful this time
By mi nightly conversation
From our previous conversations at night
Also mi lullaby
Even my lullabies to you
Well she squeeze orange juice
She even squeezes orange juice for me
An mi eggs well fried
And fries my eggs well
Garments well cleaned
Even washes and irons my clothes
From mi socks to mi tie
From my socks to my tie
She's a friend, also a lover
She is not just a friend, but also my lover
Dat mean me not feel shy
That permits me to be unreserved
Me express meself
I can freely express myself
Straight up to the sky (Oh)
Without holding back
All over the earth
All over the world
Di woman dem God bless
The blessed women
Upon di laugh fi man
Upon the humor of a man
Di man a make dem tax it
The man makes them pay for it
One time yuh hurt dem feeling
Once you hurt their feelings
And make dem flex
Making them suffer
But a making a part
But that is only a portion
That is the greatest
The most significant thing
Dis cause matters (over cuppa)
(In the middle of a conversation) This cause is important
Tell ya kiss and caress
I am asking for kisses and caresses
Waan buju Banton
I want Buju Banton
