I don't believe in superstars Organic food and foreign cars I don't believe the price of gold The certainty of growing old That right is right and left is wrong That north and south can't get along That east is east and west is west And being first is always best But I believe in love, I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad, and I believe in you Well I don't believe that heaven waits For only those who congregate I like to think of God as love He's down below, He's up above He's watching people everywhere He knows who does and doesn't care And I'm an ordinary man Sometimes I wonder who I am But I believe in love, I believe in music I believe in magic, and I believe in you I know with all my certainty what's goin' With you and me is a good thing It's true, I believe in you I don't believe virginity Is as common as it used to be In working days and sleeping nights That black is black and white is white That Superman and Robin Hood Are still alive in Hollywood That gasoline's in short supply The rising cost of getting by But I believe in love, I believe in old folks I believe in children, I believe in you I believe in love, I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad And I believe in you
