INTRO (x4)
F7 Bb
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. Come on!
INTRO (x4)
You don't have to believe me;
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:
Bbmaj Eb7
It feels like nobody's on your side;
Bbmaj Eb7
No access to your pride.
F7 Bb
You gotta learn to take control;
F7 Bb
Your whole body is a temple so.
Bbmaj Eb7
You've got a choice to make,
Bbmaj Eb7
And your mind is what's at stake.
Cmaj C7
Before we build this love, please believe that you're good enough. (No!)
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.
CHORUS
INTRO (x4)
F7 Bb F7 Bb
You don't have to believe me
F7
But you sure better believe me when I tell you you're due for love
F7 Cm
I don't want nobody else, and nobody else
Bbmaj F7
Is gonna treat you the way they ought to, and that's what you deserve.
F7 Cm
If I could make you see it, so you can truly believe it,
Bbmaj
So you won't even need it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
F7
You don't have to believe me,
And I continue on
You've still got the potential
That you've had all along.
You don't have to believe me when
You're shaking what you got,
F7
But you sure better believe me
When I tell you your mind's what's hot.
