Lyrics

This is what several people think MIGHT be the lyrics - there are still a few parts missing:

I reached the rendezvous at eight
relieved to find I wasn't late
I saw you standing in the shadows
 
It's hard to tell what happened then
I took you in my arms again
I realized I'd kissed a stranger 

Don't you believe me, baby 
All that I've said to you is true 
Don't you believe me, baby 
It's  just that she looked the same as you 

Still I mistook her for a friend 
She must have thought me 'round the bend  
I was covered in embarrassment 

I made her see I was no punk
No rapist, druggie full of junk 
and I was sorry for her harassment 

Don't you believe me, baby 
All that I've said to you is true 
Don't you believe me, baby 
It's just that she looked the same as you 

A hopeful hour smoking some
Respective partners had not come 
Such disappointment people taste it 

Nine o'clock had brought the rain 
She walked away to catch her train 
I said "Why should this night be wasted?" 

Don't you believe me, baby 
All that I've said to you is true 
Don't you believe me, baby 
It's just that she looked the same as you 

Don't you believe me, baby 
All that I've said to you is true 
Don't you believe me, baby 
It's just that she looked the same as you 
Looked the same as you 
Looked the same as youuuuuuu 
(The same as you) 

It has sunk in that someone ?????????? 
Everything was going fine 
Til you came in and threw the soup at me 

I didn't mind the broken arm 
The blow has done no lasting harm 
I need you here, won't you come back to me 

Don't you believe me, baby 
All that I've said to you is true 
Don't you believe me, baby 
It's just that she looked the same as you
