I'm skeptical of banana trees
Cause they sway too much in the tropic breeze
I'm skeptical that the world is round
What keeps it up and what keeps me down
I'm skeptical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

I'm skeptical of the aeroplane
If it can fly so high why can't a train
I'm skeptical of the lion's roar
Is he looking for lunch or is he just bored
I'm septical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

I'm skeptical of all that's gold
I'm skeptical of growin' old
I'm skeptical of the moon above
But I'm not skeptical about love
I'm skeptical of one thing more
Than I was skeptical of the day before

Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
