Who do you think I am 
Baby I'm your man 
I'm the back you lean on when you need a friend 
Now I see that I'm  
Blackened by a lie 
It's just imagination I'll tell you why 
When you call on the phone 
Late at night no-one's home 
Ain't enough to justify 
Your boyfriend's got a creepin' eye 
 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 
Cause I could make a story like that 
And now who would you believe 
Your friends or me now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you  
Cause I would never play it like that 
And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
 
So many reasons why 
You should know that I'd 
Never go behind you and make you cry 
Don't you throw this man 
Who gives you all he can 
Just because your friends trash trust in a man 
 
When you call on the phone 
Late at night no-one's home 
Ain't enough to justify 
Your boyfriend's got a creepin' eye 
 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 
Cause I could make a story like that 
And now who would you believe 
Your friends or me now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you  
Cause I would never play it like that 
And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 
Cause I could make a story like that 
And now who would you believe 
Your friends or me now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you  
Cause I would never play it like that 
And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
 
Now I realise all the questions in your eyes  
Every word you ever heard 
Every lie that made you cry 
Can't you see the good in me 
Just give me one more try 
 
Baby I would never do that 
I just want to get it back  
Baby don't believe the trash they're telling you  
Baby don't believe a lie 
Cause I would never make you cry 
Baby don't believe the trash they're telling you 
 
(don't believe it oh no) 
 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you 
Cause I could make a story like that 
And now who would you believe 
Your friends or me now baby 
Don't believe the trash 
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you  
Cause I would never play it like that 
(Cause I, I could never play it like that, no no) 
And I'm hoping you decide that girl I'm right now baby 
Don't believe the trash
