Pulp - Sylvia

You look just like Sylvia
Well, you look like her to me
The way she wore her hair then

Oh, he way she used to be
I've not seen her for a long time
Though I've heard she's still around

Her father's living with some girl
Who's a year younger than her
She's living in the country now, yeah

Oh, she's trying to get better
Her beauty was her only crime
Yeah, I remember Sylvia

So keep believing
And do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing 'cause you know that you deserve better

Who's this man you're talking to?
Can't you see what he wants to do?
He thinks if he stands near enough then he will look as good as you
Oh, he don't care about your problems
He just wants to show his friends
I guess I'm just the same as him
Oh, I just didn't know it then
I never understood you really
And I know it's too late now
You didn't ask to be that way
Oh, I'm sorry, Sylvia

So keep believing
And do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing 'cause you know that you deserve better
Oh, it's true, yeah

So please stop asking what it's got to do with you
Oh, keep believing 'cause you know that you deserve better
Oh, yeah, you know that you deserve better
Oh, yeah, you know that you deserve better
Oh, Sylvia
