As soon as I wake up every day,
|
I look at the papers to see what they say,
|
I know most what I read will be a lot of lies,
|
But then you learn really fast to read between the lines,
|
'Cos I know (he knows)
|
What I read ain't true
|
I know (he knows)
|
And I'm telling you
|
I know (he knows)
|
If they say it's red, it's blue
|
Don't believe what you read,
|
Do you believe what you read?
|
No, I don't believe what I read.
|
|
Never put it down in writing the old man said
|
I didn't know then but now I know what he meant
|
And if you're wondering why your letters never get a reply,
|
It's just when you tell me that you love me I need to see...your eyes.
|
'Cos I know
|
What I read ain't true
|
I know
|
And I'm telling you
|
I know
|
If they say it's one, it's two
|
Don't believe what you read,
|
Do you believe what you read?
|
No, I don't believe what I read.
|
|
And if you pick up a book and you're starting to read it,
|
I'll tell you what you'd better do,
|
You can read it till the end and even if you believe it,
|
That doesn't mean to say it's true...
|
|
Don't believe what you read.
