There are rumors goin' 'round about you and me And you know things can't always stay the way they should be What I'm trying to say as I kiss you right now Is I've loved you the best I know how I give it all that I have to give and I can't take any more What I'm trying to show you in the way that I hold you Is I've loved you the best I know how I can't make a promise and I won't tell you lies I wish I could give you what I've seen in your eyes Please don't feel badly 'cause I've got to leave now But I've loved you the best I know how I give it all that I have to give and I can't take any more What I'm trying to show you in the way that I hold you Is I've loved you the best I know how And Lord knows I miss you, I'd never forget you And I've loved you the best I know how I've always loved you the best I know how
