Verse 1

You look just like Sylvia, Well you look like her to me

The way she wore her hair, Oh, the way she used to be

Oh, I've not seen her for a long time, though I've heard she's still around

Her father's living with some girl, who's a year younger than her

Bridge 1

She's living in the country now yeah, Oh, she's trying to get better

Her beauty was her only crime, Yeah, I remember Sylvia

Chorus 1

So keep believin', and do what you do

I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better

And please stop asking what it's got to do with you

Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better

Verse 2

Who's this man you're talking to? Can't you see what he wants to do?

He thinks if he stands near enough then he will look as good as you

Oh, he don't care about your problems, He just wants to show his friends

I guess I'm just the same as him, I just didn't know it then

Bridge 2

I never understood you really, and I know it's too late now

You didn't ask to be that way, oh, I'm sorry Sylvia

Chorus 2

So keep believin', and do what you do

I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better

And please stop asking what it's got to do with you

Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better

Oh it's true, yeah

Solo

Chorus 3

So keep believin', and do what you do

I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better

And please stop asking what it's got to do with you

Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better

Oh Sylvia
