Anita Baker Giving u d best i've got (ON SCREEN LYRICS)

Giving You The Best That I Got
Anita Baker
Writers: Anita Baker, Skip Scarborough & Randy Holland
Giving You The Best That I Got
Ain't there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind and make me feel just fine
When I think my peace of mind is out
of reach
The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me
And together we can calm a stormy sea
We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I tell you now that I made a vow
I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
Yes I tell you now, that I made a vow
I'm giving you the best that I got, honey
Everybody's got opinions
'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end
Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill
Everybody's gonna have to think again
We love so strong and so unselfishly
They don't bother me so I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, baby
They don't bother me, said I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, listen baby
Somebody understands me
Somebody gave his heart to me
I stumbled my whole life long
Always on my own, now I'm home
My weary mind is rested
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
And I think I want to sing it forever
We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I made a vow so I tell you now
I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
I bet everything on my wedding ring
I'm giving you the best that I got,
givin' it to you baby

Is that you..? ( from colonie.? )

[@isabelgonzalez9384]

My son Steven 33 is now gone to heaven one year and nine months...This song reminds me so much of him...I used to sing it to him as a lullaby and the nights I didn't he would scream from his room at the top of his lungs (he was about five yrs old)..."Maaaaa the song" lol and I'd go lay down with him and sing it to him...so much that he learned the words and would sing along...I told him, then I don't need to sing it to you anymore cause you already know it! And he would tell me No Ma plz sing it with me...and I would, til he'd fall asleep....Such bitter sweet memories....Love you my baby Steven. Sleep with the angels til we meet again.

[@ejgold99]

that's beautiful and sad all at the same time. i'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you

[@isabelgonzalez9384]

Thank you ejgold99

[@tanishanightingale]

Sorry to hear about your loss. This is a great song!

[@blackxdark1234]

Beautiful

[@charlesthomas3684]

😢😢😢

[@Sherlocktoo]

Well written, and it cannot be preformed any better. What every man wants to hear from his wife, nothing more, nothing less, and absolutely acceptable, and in return, giving the same.

[@marycannon6046]

I was looking for a love-praise song that this Shulamite could sing from my heart to HIS Majesty---King JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth!! Thank you!

[@elderls1]

Just a beautiful song and songstress. Married couples can learn something from this song...it may even help marriages last. For the brutha's who are contemplating marriage...this is the song to play to capture her heart because that's what you want, if you capture her heart you'll have all of her. Treat the sisters right brutha's, treat um' right.

[@TheBlakblue]

"Stumbled my whole life alone, now I'm home"--priceless.

[@elderls1]

Great job Ms. Jackson. Thanks for posting the lyrics...when a woman expresses herself to a man like that, if that doesn't give him reason to REALLY LOVE HER...nothing will. Anita B. is an all-time fav...beautiful, gifted and talented!

[@Redyella211]

I bet everything on my wedding ring 😍😭 when I get married and the weight of life hits us I’m running to this song and it’s gonna help us through

[@trnigyul]

This voice is like warm honey..lawd i love this woman

[@skiller012]

A lover once did something very special for me, and ended it all by taping this song (on cassette - those days, yes!), and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this song. She sure poured out her soul for me. God bless her in whatever she's doing now.

[@frenchieseverine4514]

This song is powerful and beautiful.I get chills and i would like to give the best that i have to the man i hope to love.Yes there is not a bigger proof of love than giving the beloved one the best that we got.

[@tanishanightingale]

Yes you are right but give yourself first the best you got!!! 😉

@paullthomson Same here - 20 years ago in a weeks time - the ex-wife had gone away on holiday with a friend before we got married, surprised her with tickets to see Anita Baker when I picked her up from the airport, when she heard this song she was in tears and we then decided it would be our first dance. She truly is the voice of an angel!!! -
