Lyrics

[00:-4.00] Ben Folds - Belinda
[03:47.61][03:39.29][03:33.62][02:16.23][02:01.27][01:48.87][01:15.41][01:00.07][00:48.07][00:26.45][00:-1.00]
[00:00.92] Every night around this time he has to sing 'Belinda'
[00:07.70] "Belinda I love you, don't leave me, I need you"
[00:14.49] He tried to stop, a while back, but what is he, without her?
[00:21.15] A one-hit wonder with no hits is what he is.
[00:27.37] And anyway he always hears how much it means to people
[00:34.83] There's a lot of fortysomethings wouldn't be in the world without it
[00:42.61] So now he has to do it with this lyric in his head
[01:49.75][00:48.79] Belinda I loved you
[01:53.31][00:52.45] And I'm sorry I left you
[01:56.74][00:55.78] I met somebody younger on a plane
[02:02.67][01:01.70] She had big breasts
[02:05.12][01:04.41] And a nice smile
[02:07.10][01:06.11] No kids, either,
[03:41.47][02:10.17][01:09.64] She gave me extra complimentary champagne
[01:22.53] No one ever wants to hear the song he wrote for Cindy
[01:29.24] "Cindy I love you, I need you, don't leave me"
[01:36.13] And he can't blame them - they can tell his heart was never in it
[01:42.93] And Cindy never liked it, but she never much liked him
[02:55.67] So every night about this time he feels the old self-loathing
[03:02.46] While the old folks in the audience sing along
[03:09.13] And he smiles and waves the mike at them so they can do the chorus
[03:16.04] He's not there, he's somewhere else
[03:20.04] He's with Belinda in he days before he made it all go wrong
[03:34.76] Belinda I love you
