lyrics

***************************
I saw an old dog, he was doing new tricks
And the lightning struck my roof again.
And a penny saved won't pay all the bills
And I thought that you, you were my friend...
But you can't always believe what you see,
Can't believe what you happen to hear
And a promise don't mean a thing,
Believe me....

I led a horse down to the river.
I guess he must have been bone dry.
And a fool walked by, flashing rolls of cash;
A billionaire's heir, he'll do alright.
But you can't always believe what you see,
Can't believe what you happen to hear
And a promise don't mean a thing,
Believe me....

I don't know how but you fooled us all.
All the people, all the time.
So I called the number that was scribbled on the wall,
She wasn't really all that good a time.
But you can't always believe what you see,
Can't believe what you happen to hear
And a promise don't mean a thing,
Believe me....

I saw an old dog, he was doing new tricks
And the lightning struck my roof again.
And a penny saved won't pay all the bills
And I thought that you, you were my friend...
But you can't always believe what you see,
Can't believe what you happen to hear
And a promise don't mean a thing,
Believe me....

But you can't always believe what you see,
Can't believe what you happen to hear
And a promise don't mean a thing,
Believe me....
