I never believed them
When they spoke
Of how passionate
Their hearts had become
At the touch of romance

I never believed them
When they mentioned
How silly they had acted
Every time the object of
Their affections appeared
In front of them

I never believed them
When they said they saw
That special face
Everywhere they went

I never believed them
When they described
What heaven must feel like

I never believed them
When they talked about
The madness of it all

It all seemed like passages
Lifted from a twopenny novel
Of an era long gone by

I never believed them
I never believed them
I never believed them and it’s true
I never believed them
I never believed them
I never believed them until I met you
