Why Don't You Believe Me
Brenda Lee · Let Me Sing/By Request [Ace] [2006]
(Lew Douglas - Roy Rodde - King Laney)
(Please tell me, why tell me, why?)
Why don't you believe me it's you I adore
Forever and ever can I promise more
I've told you so often the way that I care
Why don't you believe me it just isn't fair?
Here is a heart that is lonely
Jere is a heart you can take
Here is a heart for you only
That you can keep or break.
How else can I tell you
What more can I say
Why don't you believe me
I love only you.
--- Instrumental ---
Why don't you believe me
I love only you.
(Please tell me, why tell me, why?...)
(Please tell me, why tell me, why?)
Why don't you believe me it's you I adore
Forever and ever can I promise more
I've told you so often the way that I care
Why don't you believe me it just isn't fair?
Here is a heart that is lonely
Jere is a heart you can take
Here is a heart for you only
That you can keep or break.
How else can I tell you
What more can I say
Why don't you believe me
I love only you.

Why don't you believe me
I love only you.
