I Don't Believe Them Lyrics
Simon & Garfunkel
Lyrics
Yesterday you swooned o´er me
You´ll be mine eternally
Today my friends all say excuse´
You´re going out with someone new
But I don´t believe them, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don´t believe them
ho o o o o o...
Kids in school come up to me
Say what a fool I must be
They say that when I turn around
You have that boy to latch up town
But I don´t believe them, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don´t believe them
ho o o o o o...
I been hurt so many times
That I´m afraid to start
And if I believe everything they say
It would break my heart
So I go on and trust in you
I´ve got no choice, what can I do
I know that I just would die
If I found out you told a lie
So I won´t believe them, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don´t believe them, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
