Believe What You Say (Single Version)
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
I believe what you say when you say
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me
I believe what you say when you say
You don't kiss nobody else but me.
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe)
I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me.
Well, there's-a one thing, baby, that I wantcha to know
When you're rockin' with me don't rock too slow
a-Move on in, get toe-to-toe
We're gonna rock till we can't rock no more.
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe)
I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me.
Spoken:
Well, let's dig it now.
--- Instrumental ---
(Sang)
Well, I believe what you say when you say
You don't miss nobody else but me
I believe what you say when you say
You don't kiss nobody else but me.
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe),
I believe (I believe)
Yeah, I believe, pretty baby, believe
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me.
Well, when you kiss me, baby, then you roll your eyes
I get a funny feelin' that I'm hypnotized
Chills run all up and down my spine
I'm tellin' everybody that you're mine, all mine.
I believe (I believe), do believe (do believe),
Yeah, believe (yeah, believe)
Oh, believe pretty baby, believe
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me.
Spoken:
Oh, yeah!!
(Sang)
Well, I believe, do believe,
Yeah, believe
Well, believe, pretty baby, believe
You're goin' steady with nobody else but me...
