Intro

x 2

Baby, don't believe it

Verse 1

Baby, don't believe it, oh, it's in your eyes

I can see the weakness you don't have to hide

I can take you under, under my wing

'Cause your voice gives me a song that I love to sing

Chorus 1

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Don't give up, baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it, oh, it's good for nothing

Verse 2

same as 1st verse)

You were just a child, ready to explore

And everything you saw looked like an open door

A place you can remember, you'd love to go back

But you can't even comprehend that it's all in the past

Chorus 2

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it, oh, it's good for nothing

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it oh, it's good for nothing

Bridge

Put your heart in my hands and I won't hurt you

Put your heart in my hands, I promise not to

Put your heart in my hands, I'll lift you up, you'll fly away

Fly away, lift you up

Chorus 1

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Don't give up, baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it

Baby, they build you up only to tear you down

Baby, don't believe it, baby, don't believe it, oh, it's good for nothing

Chorus 3

I'll never build you up only to tear you down

Baby, just believe it, baby just believe it, oh it's good for something

I'll never build you up only to tear you down

Oh it's good for nothing, I love you the way you are
