Verse 1
You look just like Sylvia, Well you look like her to me
The way she wore her hair, Oh, the way she used to be
Oh, I've not seen her for a long time, though I've heard she's still around
Her father's living with some girl, who's a year younger than her
Bridge 1
She's living in the country now yeah, Oh, she's trying to get better
Her beauty was her only crime, Yeah, I remember Sylvia
Chorus 1
So keep believin', and do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better
Verse 2
Who's this man you're talking to? Can't you see what he wants to do?
He thinks if he stands near enough then he will look as good as you
Oh, he don't care about your problems, He just wants to show his friends
I guess I'm just the same as him, I just didn't know it then
Bridge 2
I never understood you really, and I know it's too late now
You didn't ask to be that way, oh, I'm sorry Sylvia
Chorus 2
So keep believin', and do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing cos you know that you deserve better
Oh it's true, yeah
