I'll Believe It When I See It Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

You gave your love so tenderly
Said there could be no one but for me
And all the time you had it planned
To spend your weekend with another man
What kind of love do you call this?
I cannot live my life on promises
You say your lesson has been learned
It′s over now as far as you're concerned

Well, I′ll believe it when I see it
I'll believe it when I see it
If I can't have you when I want to
Then I might just as well be dead
I don′t think I can live my life
Sharing you with someone else


You told our children on the phone
How much you hated leaving them alone
Yet, for the past few weeks or so
You never phoned them just to say hello
You disappointed me so much
Does it surprise you that I bear a grudge?
In spite of promises you broke
You still insist that there′s a ray of hope

Well, I'll believe it when I see it
I′ll believe it when I see it
If we can't survive and live our lives
The way we both intended to
We might just as well stop right now
What good would going on do?

(I′ll believe it when I see it)
Oh, you know I try to understand
(I'll believe it when I see it)
But that′s the kind of man I am

(If I can't have you) if I can't have you (when I want to) when I want to
(Then I might just as well be dead) oh, I might just as well be dead
I don′t think that I can live my life
Sharing you with someone else

(I′ll believe it when I see I)
Baby, baby, what else can I do
(I'll believe it when I see it)
You don′t know how much I'm in love with you


(If we can′t survive) if we can't survive and (live our lives) oh, live our lives
(The way we both intended to) the way we both intended to
We might just as well stop right now
What good would going on do?
