Don't Believe a Word Lyrics

Music/Lyrics: Phil Lynott
Original Version: Thin Lizzy 1976: Johnny The Fox & Gary Moore 1978: Back On The Streets

{SLOW GUITAR INTRO SOLO}
Don't believe me if I tell you, not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.
Don't believe me if I tell you that I wrote this song for you.
There just might be some other silly, pretty girl I'm singing it to.

Don't believe a word, 'cause words are only spoken.
And a heart is like a promise, meant to be broken.

{SLOW GUITAR SOLO}

Don't believe a word, for words can tell lies.
And lies are no comfort when there's tears in your eyes.
Don't believe me if I tell you, not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.
Don't believe a word.
Lord, don't believe a word.
Don't believe me, don't believe me.
Not a single word.

{ROCKIN' RHYTHM}

Don't believe me if I tell you, not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.
Don't believe me if I tell you that I wrote this song for you.
There just might be some other silly, pretty girl I'm singing it to.

Don't believe a word, 'cause words are only spoken.
And a heart is like a promise, meant to be broken.
{GUITAR SOLO}

Don't believe a word, for words can tell lies.
And lies are no comfort when there's tears in your eyes.
Don't believe me if I tell you, not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.

Don't believe a word.
Lord, don't believe a word.
Don't believe me, don't believe me.
Not a single word.
