Lyrics
You Can Believe It
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If people say good things about you,
You can believe it.
If they say something unkind,
Pay it no mind.
If they say something mean
It's probably because
They've got a bone
Sticking in their craws.
Tell them something nice,
Give them some applause
And they'll believe it,
You can believe it.
If people say good things about you,
You can believe it.
If they say something unkind,
Pay it no mind.
If they say something cruel
That's meant to hurt your pride,
They've surely got a thorn
Sticking in their side.
Just give them a smile
That's honest, warm and wide
And they'll believe it,
You can believe it.
