If You Believe
Francis Rossi
One Step at a Time 2010



Some fans thought this song was about Rick Parfitt.

In the 'OSAAT' CD booklet, Rossi mentions 
3/4 or 'waltz time' for this track.
I shall write it out this way.

Late again, is he lying again?
Staying in while he's playing again
games that people play when they can
isn't it a shame?
always leads to feeling the same
he'll say that it's O-K



and if you believe in what he says
if you believe he'll change he says
I wish you both so well
for the rest of your lives, the rest of your lives
