| You look just like Sylvia
|
| Well, you look like her to me
|
| The way she wore her hair then
|
| Oh, the way she used to be
|
| I’ve not seen her for a long time
|
| Though I’ve heard she’s still around
|
| Her father’s living with some girl
|
| Who’s a year younger than her
|
| She’s living in the country now, yeah
|
| Oh, she’s trying to get better
|
| Her beauty was her only crime
|
| Yeah, I remember Sylvia
|
| So keep believing and do what you do
|
| I can’t help you but I know things are gonna get better
|
| And please stop asking what it’s got to do with you
|
| Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better
|
| Who’s this man you’re talking to?
|
| Can’t you see what he wants to do?
|
| He thinks if he stands near enough
|
| Then he will look as good as you
|
| Oh, he don’t care about your problems
|
| He just wants to show his friends
|
| I guess I’m just the same as him
|
| Oh, I just didn’t know it then
|
| I never understood you, really
|
| And I know it’s too late now
|
| You didn’t ask to be that way
|
| Oh, I’m sorry Sylvia
|
| So keep believing and do what you do
|
| I can’t help you but I know things are gonna get better
|
| And please stop asking what it’s got to do with you
|
| Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better
|
| Oh, it’s true, yeah
|
| So please stop asking what it’s got to do with you
|
| Oh, keep believing 'cos you know that you deserve better
|
| Oh yeah, you know that you deserve better
|
