Well i heard the other day
from some people who passed this way
they were saying you were untrue
i love you baby, no matter what you do
they say you'll leave me
and i'm just a fool
all i'll ever be is your footstool
but i believe, oh honey right now
i believe in you

oh yeah, now, they say you're bad, so bad
but you're the best girl old jerry ever had
love me and leave me, that's what they say
i love you baby, yeah, come what may
they say you'll leave me and it won't be long
i'm gonna wake up one morning
lord, i'm gonna find you gone
but i believe, oh honey, honey right now
i believe in you

oh yeah!

well they say you're just plain bad
well honey, i say this, you're the best girl that i ever had
oh don't leave me, don't leave me, honey
they say you'll soon be gone, that's what they say
oh i'll love you, baby, yeah, come what may
honey, i want you to hang around here and be with old jerry just one more day
'cause i believe, oh, i believe
i believe in you
