I Only See the Things I Wanna See

I can see you come to gossip

And they tell me so and so

But there's not a thing about him

I don't already know.



I guess you think I'm crazy

But it keeps him here with me

And I only see the things

I wanna see.



I only see the things I wanna see

Where he's concerned

It wouldn't do my heart no good

Believe in what I've learned.



I can't face the truth about the man

He'll never be

So I only see the things

I wanna see.

I only see the things I wanna see

Where he's concerned

It wouldn't do my heart much good

Believe in what I've learned.



But it's worth all my heartaches

When I have him here with me

So I only see the things I wanna see

Yes, I only see the things I wanna see...
