Beverly Believes

You oughta be in pictures she said you should
Have shown them your handsome face and they would
Have thrown themselves at your feet, yeah they would 
And you could
And I can't see 
Why you slum around with me
When you could be anything that you see
And Beverly believes
The silver lining's all she sees
Beverly believes
And what she wants to see
She sees

I oughta be a teacher I said I would
Show them everything that I could
And show them more and more till it's good
And I would
But I don't know
Where I go without you though
I'm sure I'd end up right back here
And Beverly believes
The silver lining's all she sees
Beverly believes
And what she wants to see
She sees, sees in me
Sees in me

Taught a little school I gave it up
Or maybe I should say I wasn't enough
Of the man I thought I would become
Now I'm home
And I can see why you left me running free
You knew I'd be where I belong
And Beverly believes
The silver lining's all she sees
Beverly believes
And what she wants to see she sees
Sees in me

What she wants she wants
She wants
She sees
What she wants she wants
She wants
She sees
