Don't you believe the words of handsome men (x4)
Don't you believe the words of handsome men.
They'll fall like birds, only to rise again.
Don't you believe the words of handsome men.
They'll boil like oil under your father's skin.
Don't you believe the words of handsome men (x4)
Don't you believe the words of handsome men.
They'll steer you clear of all that you will fear.
Don't you believe the words of handsome men.
They'll guide you wide of all your next of kin.
Don't you believe the words of handsome men (x4)
Father raged like a soldier.
He snapped the back off the kitchen chair.
When he said it would've been better if
You'd never crept 'round my back stair.
It wasn't nothing I wanted
But I never thought I'd ever regret it.
The day you told me there was
More to there than here.
Don't you believe the words of handsome men (x5)
Don't you believe (x3)
Don't you believe the words of handsome men.
