graduated fool, that is what I am
for every time I failed you
you're so beautiful, I just turned and walked away

I jingle with words, tangle my tongue
stammering stutters
so I wrote you this song, to finally tell you
what you've know all along, I love you
believe in me, believe me

it was true devotion, now these mixed emotions
oh, I did it again
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again
believe in me

Graduated fool, I'm better than I am
for that is what you made me
please, hold back your tears
I didn't deserve you anyway
believe in me, I still care for you, believe me
just believe in me, believe me

when I kiss your face again, all these mixed emotions
of pleasure and pain
I want you to forgive me, when the pain has faded
we'll be laughing again

believe in me, you're so beautiful, believe me
just believe in me, believe me
