Lyrics

Naive

I'm not saying it's your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful
Oh that every time I look inside

I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me

I may say it was your fault
Because I know you could have done more
Oh you're so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly world
Something so beautiful
Oh that every time I look inside

I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me

How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart?
You're so naive yet so
You're such an ugly thing
For someone so beautiful
That every time you're on his side

I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
Well, she's still out to get me
And I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false, it may be
She's still out to get me

Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let me down
Just don't let me down
Hold on to your kite
Just don't let
Just don't let me down
Hold on to this kite
Just don't let
Just don't let me down
