Lyrics Mick Clare / Music Clifton

Oh I don't believe
I don't believe
Don't wanna go no
I don't believe it

I heard a rumour
That you don' t want me around
But I'm gonna be waiting
On the other side of town
You wouldn't believe it
The things some people say
I'm gonna pack my things
Gonna go away

I don't believe it
Don't believe it's true
I don't wanna go
Away from you
I don't believe it
Don't believe it's true
I don't wanna go
Away from you

Sitting by my window
I can see the sun go down
I can feel your body moving
On the other side of town
Something deep inside
Tells me its OK
I don't ever have to worry
Cos you're never going away

I don't believe it
Don't believe it's true
I don't wanna go
Away from you
I don't believe it
Don't believe it's true
I don't wanna go
Away from you
No no no

Believe it
Believe its true
Don't wanna go now
Away from you
Don't believe it girl
Believe its true
I don't wanna go now
Away from you
I don't believe
I don't believe,
I don't believe its true
I don't wanna go

What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
