How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You
When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life?
Royal Wedding
(1951)
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've 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 dog-gone 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 two timer like me. Girl: You said I'd have ev'rything, a
beautiful diamond ring, a bungalow by the sea. Boy:
You really naive to ever
believe full of baloney phoney like me.
Girl: Say! How about the time you went to
Indiana, Boy: I
was lyin' I was down in Alabam! 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, all my no good good for nothin' life.
