I Believe/All I Need to Know

The taxman's in the pocketbook

The pressmen are by the bar

And all the world is at your door.

It's strange that you should lock it up

And preach an open heart

But you know what they're waiting for.

You can turn your face away

And don't think twice

I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know

I'm not after your money

Or even your advice

I believe you'll follow me

It's all I need to know

(To walk away).

I was tempted by the devil

In his deep blue swimming pool

Until the devil's makeup ran (ran ran).

And my future's in the strangle hold

Of ever changing rules

I don't intend to understand.

You can stop pretending now

That I had you fooled

I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know

I'm not after your money

To paralyze my soul

I believe you'll follow me

It's all I need to know

Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

(And walk away).

You can turn your face away

And don't think twice

I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know.

I'm not after your money

Or even your advice

I believe you'll follow me

It's all I need to know

Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
