Verse 2:

If you told me you lied
But I stayed true and tried
Would you believe me then?

If your beauty was gone
But my love lingered on
Would you believe me then?

Could you see it like me 
and believe what I see 
could you listen 
and remember that I love you 
only 'cause I told you
'cause I told you so
