The Brothers of Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a wrong way of thinking honey that's about you
You better believe what I'm saying to you
(Believe believe believe believe)
I don't want us to be through
That's why I'm telling you the truth
Believe, believe, believe, believe, whoa
(Believe, believe, believe, believe)
I've never tried harder to play it smart
You better believe what I'm saying to you
(Believe, believe, believe, believe)
I'd give up my style just to see you smile
Believe, believe, believe, believe rock
(Believe, believe, believe, believe)
There's a right way of thinking and a wrong way too
I got a wrong way of thinking honey that's about you
You better believe what I'm saying about you
(Believe, believe, believe, believe)
I don't want us to be through
That's why I'm telling you the truth
Believe, believe, believe, believe
(Believe, believe, believe, believe)
You better believe what I'm saying to you
Cause if you turn me down I'm afraid we're through
So give me a chance
Make it more than a glance with you
Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe
(Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe)
