i'll believe you when*

i've tried so many times
to tell you how i feel
but you're far too disbelieving
are you trying to get even with me

maybe once or twice
i wasn't fair i wasn't nice
but now i've got myself together
when i promise to be better
you say

whoa
i'll believe you when
whoa
i'll believe you when
whoa
when everything you say
don't turn out wrong

i could call you everyday
send presents by the score
and i could send you pretty flowers
have them waiting at your door

i could write up in the sky
forgive me i apologize
still if i went through every measure
with my promise to be better
you'd say

whoa
i'll believe you when
whoa
i'll believe you when
whoa
when everything you say
don't turn out wrong

there's nothing you can say
that i haven't tried
nothing i can do will ever change your mind
maybe i'd do better
if i told somebody else
