The Best Way I Know How

I look up and there you stand before me

Looking so surprised at what your see

Did you really think I’d be the same without you

And stay the way that you remember me

I had reasons for resisting all temptations

And the reason’s standing right before me now

And I hope you take into consideration

That I’m getting by the best way I know how

All the empty bottles on the table

And I seldom ever shave or comb my hair

No I didn’t drink so much that I’m not able

It’s just that I’m not going anywhere

Seeing me like this I hope you won’t feel guilty

And don’t blame yourself for what I’m doing now

I’m just right back where I was before you met me

And I’m getting by the best way I know how

And I’m getting by the best way I know how
