I met a girl on a Friday night
Who ran her mouth and she caused a fight, oh whoa
I started heading for the exit door
I never made it off the floor
I'm more the lover than the fighting type
I never claimed to be the great white hype, oh whoa
I'd rather have a broken heart
Than have my body torn apart
But
I believe, I believe
I believe in something
I believe, I believe
I believe in running
Run, run, run, run
I remember back in school
I always had to play the fool, oh whoa
If ever there were choosing sides
I would always be denied
If I was waiting for the bus
There always seemed to be a fuss, oh whoa
I could never walk alone
Or I was in a danger zone
But
I believe, I believe
I believe in something
I believe, I believe
I believe in running
Run, run, run, run
Well daddy always said, "˜believe in something'
I believe in staying alive
Well, when it comes to clothes, I ain't worth nothing
"˜Cause I believe in love, love, love, love"¦
Fast forward almost twenty years
I found a girl that's so sincere, oh whoa
She wouldn't trade me for another guy
I'll never leaver her and I'll tell you why:
You see, it started on a Friday night
She ran her mouth and she caused a fight, oh whoa
She started swinging and she cleared the floor
I ran away with her forever more
But
I believe, I believe
I believe in something
I believe, I believe
I believe in loving
