So Sincere

We say I love you and we’re So Sincere
I look in your eyes and it becomes quite clear
You want what I want, you need what I need
When I turn to leave
You plead, and plead, and plead, and plead, and plead

We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere

Now I’m sure I’m right and I’m So Sincere
You convince me I’m wrong with a single tear
You want me so badly, you can’t live without me
When I turn to leave
You bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and plead, and plead

We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere

We’re livin’ so fast we’re not living at all
Two sparrows tied together will always fall
We know we love each other so there’s nothin’ to prove
But I’m gonna smother if somebody don’t move

We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere
We’re So Sincere

  • Pat: I think Roger wrote that one at Catch A Rising Star. It was before we started the record. At the time Roger was the original player in the band, before anyone else came. Roger was always out there with his lyrics. He came up with the basic idea and I finished it up. I’m a good finisher. They give me all the little things. That’s what I do. I’m the cleaner.
    Neil: I did some slide guitar on that one. I remember playing slide with a Bic Lighter. I couldn’t get a slide bar. We didn’t have any roadies at the time. Actually, I did have a slide bar, but it broke. So I figured I’d go to a Bic Lighter, which worked pretty well.
    Roger:  This was originally a poem I wrote for Patti and her then husband. I was sad and concerned to see the troubles young couples have. I mean, these were my closest friends. I gave it to her.  A couple of years later we were in the studio doing the first album and Patti said: “Hey Roger!  What about that poem?” I said:: “Well, it is kind of personal, isn’t it?”. Patti says:  “Pfft!  Do you want to make some money? LOL”….I wrote some music for the intro and the chords to emulate The Police in the chorus.  And that’s how So Sincere got out into the public view. True Story!!
