You're Unbelievable

"Unbelievable" is a song written and recorded by EMF . It was released as a single in the UK in 1990, peaking in the UK Singles Chart at number three on 25 November 1990. It was the 32nd best-selling single of 1990 in the UK. In the United States, it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 20 July 1991. Due to the amount of air time that "Unbelievable" has received since its release, it may be responsible for the most profanity ever heard over radio. The constant background vocal during the chorus saying "What the fuck was that?," which even appears in the lyrics in the CD booklet, was never edited. This is possibly due to the fact that the background vocal appears incoherently, and most people dismiss it as undecipherable lyrics.

(Oh!) (What the) (What the, was that?) [Verse 1] You burden me with your questions You'd have me tell no lies You're always asking what it's all about But don't listen to my replies You say to me I don't talk enough But when I do I'm a fool These times I've spent, I've realized I'm going to shoot through And leave you [Chorus] The things, you say Your purple prose just give you away The things, you say You're Unbelievable (Oh!) (What the) (What the, was that?) [Verse 2] You burden me with your problems By telling me more than mine I'm always so concerned With the way you say You always have to stop To think of us being one Is more than I ever know But this time, I realize I'm going to shoot through And leave you [Chorus] The things, you say Your purple prose just give you away The things, you say You're Unbelievable (Woah! What the, was that?) Seemingly lastless, don't mean You can ask us Pushing down the relative Bringing out your higher self Think of the fine times, pushing Down the better few, instead of Bringing out the clues, to what the World and everything anger to, brace Yourself with the grace of ease I know this world ain't what it seems (What the, was that?) It's unbelievable [Verse 1] You burden me with your questions You'd have me tell no lies You're always asking what it's all about But don't listen to my replies You say to me I don't talk enough But when I do I'm a fool These times I've spent, I've realized I'm going to shoot through And leave you [Chorus] The things, you say Your purple prose just gives you away The things, you say Before I love you more The things, you say Your purple prose just gives you away The things you say You're unbelievable (What the, was that?) [Refrain] You're so unbelievable! (what the) You're unbelievable [Guitar Solo] [Outro] It's unbelievable (What the, was that?) You’re Unbelievable
