Gilbert O’Sullivan
I’ll Believe It When I See It
You gave your love so tenderly
Said there could be no one hut for me
And all the time you had it planned
To spend your weekend with another man
What kind of love do you call this
I cannot live my life on promises
You say your lesson has been learned
It's over now as far as you're concerned;
Well I'll believe it when I see it
I'll believe it when I see it
If I can't have you when I want to
I might just as well be dead
I don't think I can live my life
Sharing you with someone else
You told our children on the phone
How much you hated leaving them alone
Yet for the past few weeks or so
You never phoned them just to say hello;
You disappointed me so much
Does it surprise you that I bear a grudge
In Spite of promises you broke
You still insist that there 5 a ray of hope
Well I'll believe it when I see it
I'll believe it when I see it
If we can't survive and live our lives
The way we both intended to
We might just as well stop right now
What good would going on do;
I'll believe it when I see it
Oh, you know I try to understand
I'll believe it when I see it
'Cos that's the kind of man I am
If I can't have you, when I want to
Oh when I want to, I just might as well be dead
Oh, I might just as well be dead, I don't think that I can live my life
Sharing you with someone else;
I'll believe it when I see it
Baby, baby, what else can I do, I'll believe it when I see it
You don't know how much I'm in love with you
If we can't survive and live our lives
The way we both intended to
We might just as well stop right now
What good would going on do;
