Texty: Leela James. A Change Is Gonna Come. Didn't I.

Gave my best, gave my all
Forced me up against the wall
Tired of tryin to make it right
And I know it was wrong

All along I close my eyes
Things I should known was high
'Stead I fell for your disguise
And you saw my demise

(Chorus)
And I'm still standing here
Through my pain I spread my tears
And I still smile, cause it's alright
You did me poor but I survived

(x2)
I gave my best years to you
Didn't I
Gave my best years to you
Didn't I
Give my best years to you
Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I?

Didn't I trust you man
Treat you like you were my king
Tried to help but ??? but you was on the sly

But I'm still standing here
Through my pain I spread my tears
And I still smile, cause it's alright
You did me poor but I survived

Using me, playing me, betraying me...
No, no, no, no

(x2)
Didn't I
Give my best years to you
Didn't I
Give my best years to you
Didn't I
Give my best years to you
Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I?
