I can see you come to gossip and they tell me so and so
  But there's not a thing about him I don't already know
  I guess you think I'm crazy but it keeps him here with me
  And I only see the things I wanna see
  I only see the things I wanna see where he's concerned
  It wouldn't do my heart no good believe in what I've learned
  I can't face the truth about the man he'll never be
  So I only see the things I wanna see

  I only see the things I wanna see where he's concerned
  It wouldn't do my heart much good believe in what I've learned
  But it's worth all my heartaches when I have him here with me
  So I only see the things I wanna see yes I only see the things I wanna see
