I couldn't believe

I couldn't believe, the temptation that came with you

Oh I never knew

I couldn't believe, the amazing things that I would do

Oh when it came to you



But I believe it now when I put my arms around you

There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you

I believe, I believe



I couldn't believe, another pretty face like you have

Hey could lay me out

I couldn't believe, how easily you broke me

And I've been around



But I believe it now when I put my arms around you

There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you

I believe, I believe



No matter where else I go

No matter who else I hold

You better keep it intact

'Cause I'm coming on back to you

Coming on back to you



I couldn't believe, the temptation that came with you

Oh I never knew

I couldn't believe, the amazing things that I would do

Oh when it came to you



But I believe it now when I put my arms around you

There ain't no doubt about it when I lay my hands upon you

I believe, I believe



I believe it now, I couldn't believe

I believe it now, I couldn't believe.......

I Couldn't Believe

Dr. Hook's "I Couldn't Believe" stands as a quintessential example of the band's unique blend of rock and roll and soulful R&B, characteristic of their 1970s output. The track exemplifies the smooth vocal delivery and infectious rhythm that defined the Medicine Show's catalog, often appearing on compilations alongside hits like "Sylvia's Mother" and "Penicillin Penny." As a staple of their discography, the song captures the era's pop sensibilities with a melodic structure that has ensured its enduring presence in classic rock compilations. It remains a signature piece that highlights the group's ability to craft memorable, danceable tracks that bridged the gap between garage rock and polished studio production.
