Analysis of Hard to believe



I know you but
what you said
is hard to believe
yes, is hard to believe!

You, and me know
each other for ages
but what you did
Is hard to believe!

No matter how sincere
you are in your love
But still I think
Is hard to believe!

When recollect my memory
I see you as a virgin
When hear rumors of you
Is hard to believe!

Whatever you did for me
is great, and I do respect
But when get close to you,
Is hard to believe!
