Believe Me

This song is in my repertoire & perfectly suited to me voice, but what business do I have singing a Dusty Springfield song?

When I said, I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
& now you've gone away

Don't you know that now you're gone
& I'm left here on my own
Now I have to follow you
& beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever,
I will understand

Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead & so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love m
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever,
I will understand
Believe me!
