You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

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 that you've heard couldn't be denied
But before your opinion, listen to my side

And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

Now girl you were wrong to believe what they say
For you see nothing could ever be that bad
Though talk is now all over the town
Darling you know I'd never put you down
True, her and me we're at the party as guests
There's nothing else to say about whom I love best
But you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling, it just didn't happen that way
No, no, it just didn't happen that way

You must believe
You must believe
You must believe
You must believe
Girl, you must believe
You must believe
Girl you must believe...
