You Must Believe Me
You must believe me
No  matter what the people might say
You  must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

You  come home, something on your mind
Tell  me, darling, why are you crying?
I said be serious, no time for fun
Trying  to tell me something that I've done
The things you heard couldn't be denied
Before your opinion, listen to my side

You must believe me
No  matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

You come home, something on your mind
Tell me, darling, why are you crying?
I said be serious, no time for fun
Trying to tell me something that I've done
The things you heard couldn't be denied
Before your opinion, listen to my side
You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

You come home, something on your mind
Tell me, darling, why are you crying?
I said be serious, no time for fun
Trying to tell me something that I've done
The things you heard couldn't be denied
Before your opinion, listen to my side

You must believe me
You must believe me
You must believe me
