I don't even know if I believe Everything you're trying to say to me So open up my eyes Tell me I'm alive This is never gonna go our way If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind You may call it in this evening But you've only lost the night Present

But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way My daddy was a bank robber And he loved to steal your money So he came to jazz it up Some is rich, and some is poor And that's the way the world is But I don't believe in laying back Sayin' how bad

Still I find salvation You monkey see, you monkey do You're always doing what they tell you to You're such a puppet on string You don't get it! I won't bow to something that I've never seen I can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me I'm not

I believe in you, I believe in you. You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth, Yet there's that upturned chin and the grin of impetuous youth, I hear the sound of good solid judgment whenever you talk, Yet there's that bold, brave,

Oh, I'm a master pretender I'll be your master defender Never thought that I was weak Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad Still get up on my own two feet I always believed that I was free That I had some sense of integrity That would rise above

And I, I never needed to lie Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying It's love that you see Love is for giving I know I'm just livin' for you Livin' without you never could be so wrong Don't need to say it, I never waited so long Thinking

Let me love you Never let you go Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah I won't give up, nah-nah-nah Never let you go, never let me down Heaven's a heartbreak away Driving the edge of a knife Oh baby, baby I used to believe

But on a sunday morning sun Waste all my time Could I believe you never know Your presence sublime, oh oh I know I need your ever more, oh oh Well I don't, I don't believe in your lovin' When all things sort of fall inside Then I don't, I don't believe

Don't think I could forgive you Ya, you never said a word You didn't send me no letter See, our world is slowly dying I'm not wasting no more time Don't think I could believe you Ya, our hands will get more wrinkled And our hair, it will be grey And see

When you told me you didn't need me anymore I'll never do you no harm Well you know I nearly broke down and cried Oh! Darling, please believe me Believe me when I tell you Oh! Darling, if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I beg you
