Lyrics

Don't believe me if I tell you,

not a word of this is true.

Don't believe me if I tell you,

especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.

Don't believe me if I tell you

that I wrote this song for you.

There just might be some other silly, pretty girl

I'm singing it to.

Don't believe a word,

'cause words are only spoken.

And a heart is like a promise,

meant to be broken.

Don't believe a word,

for words can tell lies.

And lies are no comfort

when there's tears in your eyes.

Don't believe me if I tell you,

not a word of this is true.

Don't believe me if I tell you,

especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.

Don't believe a word.

Lord, don't believe a word.

Don't believe me, don't believe me.

Oh, not a single word.

Oh, yeah.
