I Believe In You

(album: Brand New Tennessee Waltz - 1970)

I don't believe in superstars
Organic food or foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold
The certainty of growing old
That right is right, and left is wrong
That north and south can't get along
That east is east, and west is west
Being first is always best

But I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in Mom and Dad
And I believe in you

I don't believe that Heaven waits
For only those who congregate
I like to think of God as love
He's down below, he's up above
He's watching people everywhere
He knows who does and doesn't care
And I'm an ordinary girl
And that's the way I see the world

But I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in magic
And I believe in you

I know with all my certainty
What's going on with you and me
Is a good thing
Mmm, it's true
I believe in you

I don't believe virginity
Is as common as it used to be
In working days and sleeping nights
That black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robin Hood
Are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline's in short supply
The rising cost of getting by

But I believe in love
I believe in old folks
I believe in children
I believe in you
Yes, I believe in love
I believe in babies
I believe in Mom and Dad
And I believe in you
