Text: Barbra Streisand. Don't Believe What You Read.

They say her pretty face is
Enough to launch a ship
Mix that with charm and style
How you gonna miss?

With all the admiration
The world is at her feet
She's living for attention
When she's spotted on the street

Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
About the life that I lead

Dinner an' a movie
I'll just show my face in town
Rumors fly so fast that
I don't try to live'em down

Gets old answering questions
Why and trying to explain
Why I prefer to stay at home
With friends and entertain?

Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
About the life that I lead

To the outside world it's paradise
They'd love to be in my shoes
They don't seem to realize that
It's not like in the news

Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
About the life that I lead

I just read in the papers that
I bought some birds today
Flying all around my house
Just havin' their own sweet way

It makes me feel so foolish
'Cause they called my house a cage
But there's nothing I can do
Just puts me in a rage

Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
About the life that I lead

Don't believe it
Don't believe what you read
Don't believe it
About the life that we lead
