I believe my heart, it believes in you,
Itâ?Ts telling me that what I see is completely true,
I believe my heart, how can itâ?Tll be wrong,
It says that what I feel for you I will feel my whole life long.
(I believe my heart - Duncan James & Keedie)

She''s a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody who''s staring wouldn''t believe that this girl was mine
I should have known I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity but
They say you never miss the water til it4s gone
Guess I failed to love you
And you''re taking it out tonight
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that
I can''t believe what I just gave away
Now I can''t take it back
I don''t wanna get lost
I don''t wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that
She''s all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she''s out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It''s so ironic how I had to lose just to see
That I failed to love you
And you''re taking it out tonight
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that
I can''t believe what I just gave away
Now I can''t take it back
I don''t wanna get lost
I don''t wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that
I dont wanna forget you
I dont even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by
When you''re looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that
I can''t believe what I just gave away
Now I can''t take it back
I don''t wanna get lost
I don''t wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you''re looking like that​

Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright sunny day
when I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight
