Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.

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!





Well, I believe, do believe, yeah believe
Well, believe, pretty baby, believe you`re goin` steady with nobody else but me
