You look just like Sylvia:
Well you look like her to me -
the way she wore her hair then.
Oh, the way she used to be.
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.
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.
*So keep believing & do what you do,
I can`t help you but I know things are gonna get better.
& please stop asking
what it`s got to do with you.
Oh, keep believing `cos you know that you deserve better.
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.
I never understood you really
& I know it`s too late now.
You didn`t ask to be that way.
Oh, I`m sorry Sylvia.
[*Repeat]
So keep believing & do what you do,
I can`t help you but I know things are gonna get better.
Yeah you know that you deserve better. [x2]
Oh Sylvia.
