If I Believe You (Live With The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
This song is about Jesus

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a God-shaped hole that’s infected
And I’m petrified of being alone
It's pathetic, I know

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tossed and I turn in my bed
It's just like I lost my head (Lost my head)

[Chorus]
And if I believe You
Will that make it stop?
If I told You I need You
Is that what You want?
And I'm broken and bleeding
And begging for help
(There's no use singing a song)
And I'm asking You Jesus, show Yourself

[Verse 2]
I thought I’d met You once or twice (Oh!)
But that was just because the dabs were nice and opening up my mind
Showing me consciousness is primary in the universе
And I had a revelation
I'll be Your child if You insist
I mеan if it was You that made my body
You probably shouldn't have made me atheist
But, oh, I’m a lesbian kiss
I'm an evangelist
And if you don't want to go to hell then Miss, you better start selling this (Oh, go!)
[Chorus]
And if I believe You
Will that make it stop?
If I told You I need You
Is that what You want?
And I'm broken and bleeding
And begging for help
(There's no use singing a song)
And I'm asking You Jesus, show Yourself
(Play it, babies)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost, oh, how can I find?
If I'm lost then how can I find myself?
If I'm lost, oh, how, how?
If I'm lost
If I'm lost
If I'm lost
If I'm lost
If I'm lost
If I'm lost

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
