lyrics

If You're Gonna Make Somebody Believe You

I got your number and I still don't understand
Why you think it's cute to be a liar and tying your hands
It's so easy to be the fool none's gonna hand you the buck
But it takes some character and interest in the follow up

If you're gonna make somebody believe you

I used to let you twist me up I'd hang on every word
You rearranged your promises until you weren't even sure
So much like a boy and his wolf alone in your emergency
But it takes some guts, something more than sympathy

If you're gonna make somebody believe you

You say you're alone with no one to call
you're left holding the bag because you dropped the ball
Sometimes your'e gonna be wrong sometimes you just won't know
But it takes some force of will and a desire to let things grow

If you're gonna make somebody believe you
