How Could You Believe Me When I Told You That I Loved You

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I've been a liar all my life

I've had that reputation since I was a youth

You must have been insane to think I'd tell you the truth

How could you believe me when I said we'd marry

When you know I'd rather hang than have a wife

I know I said I'd make you mine

But who would know that you would go for that old line

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I've been a liar

Nothing but a liar, all my doggone cheatin' life



(Girl) You said you would love me long, and never would do me wrong

And faithful you'd always be

(Boy) Oh, baby, you must be loony to trust a lower

than low two time like me

(Girl) You said I'd have everything, a beautiful diamond ring

A bungalow by the sea

(Boy)You're really naive to ever believe a full of baloney phoney like me



(Girl) Say! How about the time you went to Indiana

(Boy) I was lyin' I was down in Alabama!

(Girl) You said you had some business you had to complete

(Boy) What I was doin' I would be a cad to repeat

(Girl) What about the evenings you were with your mother

(Boy) I was romping with another honey lamb

(Girl) To think you swore our love was real

(Boy) But, baby, let us not forget, that I'm a heel



How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I've been a liar, nothing but a liar
