Stacey Mindich - If I Didn't Believe in You lyrics

[JAMIE] There are people And they are publishing my book And there's a party That they are throwing And while you've made it very clear that you're not going I will be going And that's done But what's it really about? Is it really about a party, Cathy? Can we please for a minute Stop blaming and say what you feel? Is it just that you're disappointed To be touring again for the summer Did you think this would all be much easier Than it's turned out to be? Well, then talk to me, Cathy Talk to me If I didn't believe in you We'd never have gotten this far If I didn't believe in you And all of the ten thousand women you are If I didn't think you could do Anything you ever wanted to If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow The fact of the matter is, Cathy I wouldn't be standing here now If I didn't believe in you We wouldn't be having this fight If I didn't believe in you I'd walk out the door and say, "Cathy, you're right." But I never could let that go Knowing the things about you I know – Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew It never took much convincing To make me believe in you Don't we get to be happy, Cathy? At some point down the line Don't we get to relax Without some new tsuris To push me yet further from you? If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy Why can't you support mine? Why do I have to feel I committed some felony Doing what I always swore I would do? I don't want you to hurt I don't want you to sink But you know what I think? I think you'll be fine! Just hang on and you'll see – But don't make me wait 'til you do To be happy with you – Will you listen to me? No one can give you courage No one can thicken your skin I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy I will not lose because you can't win If I didn't believe in you Then here's where the travelogue ends If I didn't believe in you I couldn't have stood before all of our friends And said, "This is the life I choose – This is the thing I can't bear to lose Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall." That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy If I hadn't believed in you I wouldn't have loved you at all Now why don't you put on your dress and we'll go, okay? Cathy? Can we do that, please? Please?
