I Want To Believe It's You
Quarterflash · Back Into Blue [1985]
So many days in blue
Thinking that life maybe passed me by
Then suddenly I found you
And now all of my life seems to change overnight
And I don't know what to do
You say you want to be mine
That it's love this time
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
It's never easy for me in love
I never can find what I need
I need a lover that's lost but hasn't lost touch
Someone who's lost like me
And then I come on too strong and I play it all wrong
I don't know why I do
But something tells me tonite
That this might be right
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
Oh...I want to believe it's true
Oh...I want to believe it's you
I keep having this dream that I go through
A man holds me close but I never see who
Babe, can't you see that
I want to believe it's you
It's easy to hide your heart away
It's easy to never choose
I've loved and I've lost and I've lost my way
And now I'm afraid to lose
But when you say that it's right
That it's here tonight
I'm ready to see it, too
Like a prisoner's release
Like a promise of peace
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
