Betcha Thought We Couldn’t Do It Lyrics by Gentle Giant

The Missing Piece

1977

[Chorus]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
[Verse 1]
We built our house stone by stone
Little help, we were on our own
Made the town, torn it down
Now you know, tell me how it feels
[Chorus]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
[Verse 2]
We've been waiting such a long, long time
To fit the pattern, fill the rhyme
Now we can't stick in our old ways
Now it's out we'll see how you feel
[Chorus]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
[Verse 3]
We built our house stone by stone
Little help, we were on our own
Made the town, torn it down
Now you know, tell me how it feels
[Bridge]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Chorus]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
[Chorus]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
[Outro]
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
And if you did, we wouldn't try
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
But if we didn't, we would die
I betcha thought we couldn't do it
