You Must Believe Me

The Impressions

(Curtis Mayfield)



Chorus:

[2,3: And] you must belie-ie-ieve me

No matter what the people might say

You must belie-ie-ieve me

Darlin', it just didn't happen that way

No, no, it just didn't happen that way



Verse 1:

You've come home with somethin' on your mind

Darlin', tell me, why are you cryin'

You say be serious, no time for fun

While tryin' to tell me somethin' that I've done

The things you heard couldn't be denied

But before your opinion, listen to my side



[repeat chorus]



[repeat intro]



(whoa, it's all right)

(whoa, it's all right)



Verse 2:



Girl, you're wrong to believe what was said

For you see nothing could ever be that bad

Though the talk is now all over town

Darling, you know I'd never put you down

True, her and me were at the party as guests

There's nothing else to say about whom I love best



[repeat chorus]



[repeat intro to fade]



(whoa, it's all right)

(whoa, it's all right
