Believing It Yourself

(album: Hello Walls - 1961)

You're telling everybody that she loves you
You know she don't
You're telling everybody that she'll come back
You know she won't

You tell the same old story
To everybody else
And pretty soon you'll start
Believing it yourself

I know because she put me through it too
She gets around
And you got so much pride you won't admit
She turns you down

So you'll stick to your story
I did the same thing too
And pretty soon you'll start
Believing that it's true

You say you're something special in her eyes
You know you're not
A mem'ry and a lotta foolish lies
That's all you've got

But you say that she'll come back
I know just how you feel
And pretty soon you'll start
Believing that she will

But you're just asking for a broken heart
When you won't end
'Cause when you start believing your own lies
That's what you'll get

So go tell everybody
She found somebody else
And maybe soon you'll
Start believing it yourself...
