Who do you think I am

Baby I'm your man

I'm the back you lean on when you need a friend

Now I see that I'm 

Blackened by a lie

It's just imagination I'll tell you why

When you call on the phone

Late at night no-one's home

Ain't enough to justify

Your boyfriend's got a creepin' eye



Baby don't believe the trash they tell you

Cause I could make a story like that

And now who would you believe

Your friends or me now baby

Don't believe the trash

Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 

Cause I would never play it like that

And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby

Don't believe the trash



So many reasons why

You should know that I'd

Never go behind you and make you cry

Don't you throw this man

Who gives you all he can

Just because your friends trash trust in a man



When you call on the phone

Late at night no-one's home

Ain't enough to justify

Your boyfriend's got a creepin' eye



Baby don't believe the trash they tell you

Cause I could make a story like that

And now who would you believe

Your friends or me now baby

Don't believe the trash

Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 

Cause I would never play it like that

And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby

Don't believe the trash



Baby don't believe the trash they tell you

Cause I could make a story like that

And now who would you believe

Your friends or me now baby

Don't believe the trash

Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 

Cause I would never play it like that

And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby

Don't believe the trash



Now I realise all the questions in your eyes 

Every word you ever heard

Every lie that made you cry

Can't you see the good in me

Just give me one more try



Baby I would never do that

I just want to get it back 

Baby don't believe the trash they're telling you 

Baby don't believe a lie

Cause I would never make you cry

Baby don't believe the trash they're telling you



(don't believe it oh no)



Baby don't believe the trash they tell you

Cause I could make a story like that

And now who would you believe

Your friends or me now baby

Don't believe the trash

Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 

Cause I would never play it like that

(Cause I, I could never play it like that, no no)

And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby

Don't believe the trash
