How Can I Be Certain?
(Additional lyrics by Diane Holmes)

How can I be certain
That everything will work out fine?
How can I believe you
Are you giving me another line?
Our lives could get troubled and weary
We’d be destined just to drift apart
Oh, how can I be certain
Of the feelings that are in your heart?

First you said you’d love me true
That I’d share every part of you
We’d be together all the time...
But that was just the night
Before you turned and pointed to the door
And said you’d had a change of mind

Oh, how can I believe you
When you say you’re feeling blue?
Has some other boyfriend, slightly disappointed you?
This time I demand a good answer
To satisfy my curiosity
Oh, how can I be certain
When you say that you love me?

I don’t want to be demanding
But I need an understanding
Of the situation that we’re in
Times when we were miles apart
Your memories nearly broke my heart-
I just don’t know where to begin…

How can I believe you
When you say you’re feeling blue?
Has some secret boyfriend slightly disappointed you?
This time I demand a good answer
Satisfy my curiosity
Oh, how can I be certain when you say that you love me?
