[Verse 1] I believe in workin' hard From the Texaco star on my papaw's shirt I believe in the Lord above 'Cause my sweet mama took me to church I believe in the power of good songs And good dogs 'cause of my old man And I believe that life's what happens While we're makin' other plans [Chorus] And you, you make me believe in love You, you give me a reason to trust that there's A happy ever-after If it's with you, that's enough Baby, it's true You make me believe, make me believe in love [Verse 2] I believe our better days Are up ahead and not behind I believe we'll have our struggles But they'll get sweeter with time I believe everything I give you You'll take to heart and keep it safe And I believe the time we spent apart Was well worth the wait [Chorus] And you, you make me believe in love You, you give me a reason to trust that there's A happy ever-after If it's with you, that's enough Baby, it's true You make me believe, make me believe in love [Bridge] Ooh Mmm [Chorus] And you, you make me believe in love You, you give me a reason to trust that there's A happy ever-after If it's with you, that's enough Baby, it's true You make me believe, make me believe in love [Outro] I believe that raisin' babies Is the most important thing we'll do When I'm eighty-three and gray I'll still be crazy over you I believe that the story we give this world Lives on long after us And you, you make me believe Make me believe in love
