I'll Do My Best
Ritchie Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby, you're a sweet thing
You're the apple of my eye, you're a dream come true
Gonna give you all my loving
'Cause nobody in the whole world
Makes me feel the way you do

I love you so now
And I wanna keep your love
Won't let you go now
You mean the world to me, yeah
Trust in me, baby, I'll never let you down

I'll do my best for you, baby
You've got the love I need
Long as you say that you need me
My love is guaranteed (I'll do my best)
I'll do my best for you, baby
Show you a love so true
Long as you say you'll never leave me
I'll do my best for you (yes, I will)

Boy, your love is such a treasure
As you really give me pleasure when you hold me tight
I pledge all my love forever
You respect me as a lady
And you always treat me right

I'll never hurt you
I don't wanna lose your love
Never desert you
I'll be a fool to leave you
Trust in my loving, I'll never, ever let you down
I'll do my be-est

I'll do my best for you, baby (you've got the love)
You've got the love I need (long as you say)
Long as you say that you need me
My love is guaranteed (I'll do my be-est)
I'll do my best for you, baby (I'll show you love)
Show you a love so true, I'll show you love (yeah, yeah)
Long as you say you'll never leave me (I'll do my be-est)
I'll do my best for you

[Instrumental interlude]

You've got the love

I'll do my best for you, baby (do my best for you, baby)
You've got the love I need, you've got the love
(You've got the love)
Long as you say that you need me (say that you need me)
My love is guaranteed

I love you so now
And I wanna keep your love
Won't let you go now
You mean the world to me, yeah-eah
Trust in me, baby, I'll never let you down, oh, no-o

I'll do my best for you, baby (I'll do my be-est)
You've got the love I need, you've got the love
Long as you say that you need me (say that you need me)
My love is guaranteed (my love is guaranteed)
I'll do my best for you, baby (I'll do my be-est)
Show you a love so true, I'll show you love
Long as you say you'll never leave me
(Baby, keep on lovin' me)




I'll do my best for you (I'll do my best for you)
[Fades]

На солнечном пляже в июне
В своих голубых пижама
Девчонка — звезда и шалунья —
Она меня сводит с ума.

Под синий berceuse океана
На желто-лимонном песке
Настойчиво, нежно и рьяно
Я ей напеваю в тоске:

«Мадам, уже песни пропеты!
Мне нечего больше сказать!
В такое волшебное лето
Не надо так долго терзать!

Я жду Вас, как сна голубого!
Я гибну в любовном огне!
Когда же Вы скажете слово,
Когда Вы придете ко мне?»

И, взглядом играя лукаво,
Роняет она на ходу:
«Вас слишком испортила слава.
А впрочем... Вы ждите... приду!..»

Потом опустели террасы,
И с пляжа кабинки свезли.
И даже рыбачьи баркасы
В далекое море ушли.

А птицы так грустно и нежно
Прощались со мной на заре.
И вот уж совсем безнадежно
Я ей говорил в октябре:

«Мадам, уже падают листья,
И осень в смертельном бреду!
Уже виноградные кисти
Желтеют в забытом саду!

Я жду Вас, как сна голубого!
Я гибну в осеннем огне!
Когда же Вы скажете слово?
Когда Вы придете ко мне?!»

И, взгляд опуская устало,
Шепнула она, как в бреду:
«Я Вас слишком долго желала.
Я к Вам... никогда не приду».

1930

@daniellopesdasilva9316

aí é massa demais, esse som me faz viajar no passado, muito obrigado por ter postado essa música, muito show!!!!!!!!

@ONEMusic801

the 80s are without a doubt the era that made the best music hands down, I wish i could have been born earlier to experience so many great artists and bands live! I can only imagine hearing this live, the vibe, the sound, the style, the women! just imagine how awesome it would have been.

@johnnwako2488

Let's add the late 1970s to perfect the era of the best music ever, so to speak...

@IronMan-tk8uc

Tell me about it! Born in 1993, I loathe every single second that I have to live this more than mediocre current time! My heart & soul are always in the 70s and 80s, forever!

@agfromdai.e3806

@@IronMan-tk8uc 1993 had some of the best music tho

@IronMan-tk8uc

@@agfromdai.e3806 Yes, it had (especially in the R&B/New Jack Swing arena) which I also didn't lived it because I was being conceived!

@grahamd5418

The eighties made the best club music. Not so sure about the pop commercial stuff.
