    LYRICS
    "There are people
    And they are publishing my book
    And there's a party that they are throwing
    And while you've made it very clear that you're not going
    I will be going
    So that is done
    So what's this really about?
    Is it really about a party, Cathy?
    Can we just for a minute stop blaming
    And say what we feel?
    Is it just that you're disappointed
    To be touring again for the summer?
    Did you think this would all be much easier
    Than it's turned out to be?
    Well, then talk to me, Cathy
    Talk to me
    If I didn't believe in you
    We would'nt have gotten this far
    If I didn't believe in you
    And all of the ten thousand women you are
    If I didn't think you could do
    Anything you ever wanted to
    If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
    The fact of the matter is, Cathy
    I wouldn't be standing here now
    If I didn't believe in you
    We wouldn't be having this fight
    If I didn't believe in you
    I would walk out the door and say,
    "Cathy, you're right"
    But I'd never let that go
    Knowing the things about you I know
    Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew
    It never took much convincing
    To make me believe in you
    Don't we get to be happy, Cathy?
    At some point down the line
    Don't we get to relax?
    Without some new tsuris
    To push me yet further from you?
    If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy
    Why can't you support mine?
    Why do I have to feel
    Like I've committed some felony
    Doing what I always swore I would do?
    And I don't want you to hurt
    I don't want you to sink
    But you know what I think?
    I think you'll be fine!
    Just hold on and you'll see-
    But don't make me wait till you do
    To be happy with you
    Will you listen to me?
    No one can give you courage
    No one can thicken your skin
    I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy
    I will not lose because you can't win
    If I didn't believe in you
    Then here's where the travelogue ends
    If I didn't believe in you
    I couldn't have gone up before all of our friends
    And say, "This is the life I choose-
    This is the thing I can't bear to lose
    Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall"
    That's what I thought we agreed on,
    Cathy
    If I didn't believe in you
    I wouldn't have loved you at all"
    *spoken* Now can we,
    can you put your dress on
    and we'll go to this party?
    Can we do that please?
    Please!?!
