1. I've tried so many times to tell you how I feel
But you're far too disbelieving, are you trying to get even with me
Maybe once or twice I wasn't fair I wasn't nice
But now I've got myself together, when I promise to be better
You say

R: Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, When everything you say don't turn out wrong
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, I'll believe you when
Whoa, When everything you say don't turn out wrong

2. I could call you everyday, send presents by the score
And I could send you pretty flowers, have them waiting at your door
I could write up in the sky, 'Forgive me I apologize'
Still if I went through every measure, with my promise to be better
You'd say
R:

There's nothing you can say that I haven't tried
Nothing I can do will ever change your mind
Maybe I'd do better, if I told somebody else

R: +
