  • I was walking down a one way street
    Just a looking for someone to meet
    One woman who was looking for a man
    Now i'm hoping that the feeling is right
    And i'm wondering if you'll stay for the night
    So i'm coming (i don't wanna be lonely)
    I wanna love you all over

    Do you believe in love
    Do you believe it' true
    Do you believe in love
    Oh you can bet i believe it too

    Now the feeling is beginning to grow
    And the meaning is something you only know
    If you believe it take my hand and i'll take your heart
    Now i'm wondering where does true love begin
    I'm going under so i'm lettin' you in
    My woman (i don't wanna be lonely)
    I wanna love you all over

    Do you believe in love
    Do you believe it' true
    Do you believe in love
    Oh you can bet i believe it too

    I use to have you in a photograph
    (i'm so glad it's changed)
    But now i've got you and it's gonna last
    (do you believe in love)

    Do you believe in love
    Do you believe it' true
    Do you believe in love
    Oh you can bet i believe it too

  • Shark from Norwich CteThat makes sense that Colla's voice does all the harmonies on the bridge. His voice is very recognizable and a huge part of the H Lewis & the News sound. Similar to Michael Anthony with Van Halen.
  • Frank Schnyder from Los AngelesJohnny Colla has said recently on FaceBook that the bridge harmonies are his voice alone multi-tracked several times.
    Also, this song is done live now in a slower, more soulful groove. You can find it on the 2006 Live At 25 CD/DVD.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn March 27th 1982, Huey Lewis & the News performed "Do You Believe in Love?" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was at #18 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; fifteen days later on April 11th, 1982 it would peaked at #7 {for 3 weeks} and spent 17 weeks on the Top 100...
    Between 1982 and 1994 the San Franciscan sextet had twenty-one Top 100 records; thirteen made the Top 10 with three reaching #1, "The Power of Love" for 2 weeks in 1985, "Stuck with You" for 3 weeks in 1986, and "Jacob's Ladder" for 1 week in 1987...
    They just missed having a fourteenth Top 10 record when "Couple of Days Off" peaked at #11 in 1991.
  • Mike from Las Vegas, Nv.I'm going to see Huey Lewis and The News in 3 days (2/6/2015). It's gonna be a great show.
  • Adam from Mattapoisett, MaThe original title of the song was not "Do You Really Believe in Love." Mutt Lange wrote the song and titled it "We Both Believe in Love." Huey stated this on VH1's "Behind the Music."
  • Damaramu from Houston, TxELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" predates "Do You Believe In Love?" by 5 years.
  • Jane from Austin, TxWhoever wrote in wikipedia is WRONG. Sweet Talkin' Woman came out about 2 or 3 years BEFORE Huey Lewis' song.
  • Logan from Troy, MtSomeone on Wikipedia said that "Sweet Talkin' Woman" by The Electric Light Orchestra is essentially "Do You believe in Love?" for it's "extremely similar lyrics, progression, and vocal stylings"

    Type up "Sweet Talkin' Woman" in Wikipedia and it says it. I know it shouldn't be looked at so closely, but listen to the songs together, and except for the voice parts being different, it's in so many ways the same.
  • Sean from Brockton, MaThe original lyrics/title of the song was "Do you really believe in love". "Really" was left out of the final product to beter match the song's tempo.
  • Michael from San Diego, CaLove the humorous video in which all five band members sing to and and compete with each other for the attention of a woman.
  • Tim from Hendersonville, TnHuey Lewis & the News were a regional club band. One of the last places they played as a club band before getting their big record deal was at a place called Tremors in Hicksville, Ohio. Tremors was closed for business when I looked in 1992 or so.
