I Swear

[Verse]
If I ever needed sunshine
It only would be rain
If I needed happiness
All I get is pain
If I need an old book
It'd only bring me down
With all said and done
I'll take it as it comes
I'll play the cards you tell me
Although you never won
'Cause I know you don't care
What will people think

[Bridge]
Oh no!
What have you said?!

[Chorus]
And I
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Pretending that you really care
And all of it was so true
I'm down, and I swear
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Remembering how you really care
And all of it was so true
What am I gonna do?

[Verse]
If home is where the heart is
Your home is on the street
You'd rather keep your love to any stranger you might meet
If you needed a shoulder, it would never be mine

[Verse]
If I needed sunshine
All I get is rain
If I needed happiness
All I get is pain
'Cause I thought it was okay
What will people think

[Bridge]
Oh no!
Why can't you see?!

[Chorus]
'Cause I
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Pretending that you really care
And all of it was so true
Honey, I swear
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Remembering how you really care
When all of it was so true
What am I gonna do?

[Chorus]
'Cause honey, I swear
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Pretending that you really care
And all of it was so true
Baby, I swear
I'd rather go hearing you loud
Remembering how you really care
When all of it was so true
Honey, I swear
