I Believed You Lyrics

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

I believed what you said
The lovin' days were through
But you were fooling around
I found somebody who

Will never never take your place
Will never give me your embrace
But now that you've shown your face
You've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just can't leave her blue
Or else I'll be alone

Well, I just can't leave her now
It wouldn't be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now you've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just can't leave her blue
Or else I'll be alone

Well, I just can't leave her now
It wouldn't be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now you've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

You Really Got Me

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

I believed what you said
The lovin' days were through
But you were fooling around
I found somebody who

Will never never take your place
Will never give me your embrace
But now that you've shown your face
You've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just can't leave her blue
Or else I'll be alone

Well, I just can't leave her now
It wouldn't be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now you've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

Now what am I to do?
Now that you want me so
I just can't leave her blue
Or else I'll be alone

Well, I just can't leave her now
It wouldn't be fair somehow
She loved me when my luck was down
Now you've broken her heart, too

I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me
I believed you
I believed you
Now it's up to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
