I can see you come to gossip
And they tell me so and so
But there's not a thing about him
I don't already know.

I guess you think I'm crazy
But it keeps him here with me
And I only see the things
I wanna see.

I only see the things I wanna see
Where he's concerned
It wouldn't do my heart no good
Believe in what I've learned.

I can't face the truth about the man
He'll never be
So I only see the things
I wanna see.

I only see the things I wanna see
Where he's concerned
It wouldn't do my heart much good
Believe in what I've learned.

But it's worth all my heartaches
When I have him here with me
So I only see the things I wanna see
Yes, I only see the things I wanna see...
