I'll Believe In You (Or I'll Be Leaving You Tonight) - The Tragically Hip

Well, it’s seven a.m. and she awoke by the radio

Yeah, she rolled on over, said, «Where did my man go?»

She’s been a gunslinger’s wife all her life, now she fights when she’s able

For the sake of the kids when the knife’s at their necks in the cradle

She screams

I’ll believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

Well, she’s got all the kids and she’s got all their uses

But she loves them the same for neglect and abuses

Well, she got a warm spot where they fought and they made up last evening

He said, «Don't read too much into the fact that I’m leaving»

She screams

I’ll believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

How do I explain this

I mean how do I put it into words

It’s one thing or another

But it’s neither this nor that

Actually it’s a collection of things

She said, «That's it, that’s it, get out»

Well, her mother said, «Kill him slow at your leisure»

Ah but desperate times call for desperate measures

So she went to the closet and she pulled the old gun down

«I'll put a bullet through his heart if he ain’t home by sundown»

Yeah, five fifty five he comes walking in the front door smiling

He said, «Don't read too much into what I ain’t denying»

She screams

I’ll believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

I will believe in you or I’ll be leaving you tonight

Well, I believe in you

Well, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you
