You Don’t Have to Believe Me

You don’t have to believe me I’m just speaking my mind
You look lovely as always you get that all the time
You don’t have to believe me when I tell you that I’m impressed
But you sure better believe me when I say you deserve the best

You don’t have to believe me but I’m not gonna lie
I’ve seen all the attention you get from other guys
You don’t have to believe me when I tell you I like your dress
But you sure better believe me when I say you deserve respect

CHORUS
It feels like nobody’s on your side no access to your pride
You gotta learn to take control your whole body is a temple so
You’ve got a choice to make and your mind is what’s at stake
So before we build this love please believe that you’re good enough

You don’t have to believe me but I’m not often wrong
They’ve been taking advantage and it’s gone on too long
You don’t have to believe me when we’re dancing out on the floor
But you sure better believe me when I say you are worth much more

It feels like nobody’s on your side no access to your pride
You gotta learn to take control your whole body is a temple so
You’ve got a choice to make and your mind is what’s at stake
So before we build this love please believe that you’re good enough

You don’t have to believe me
But you sure better believe me when I tell you you’re due for love

I don’t want nobody else
And nobody else is gonna treat you the way they ought to
And that’s what you deserve
If I could make you see it
So you can truly believe it
So you won’t even need it

You don’t have to believe me
But I’ll continue on
You still hold the potential
That you had all along
You don’t have to believe me
When you’re shaking what you’ve got
But you sure better believe me when I tell you your mind’s what’s hot
