Lyrics They Didn't Believe Me - Dinah Washinton

They Didn't Believe Me

Got the cutest little way,
Like to watch you all the day.
And it certainly seems fine,
Just to think that you’ll be mine.
When I see your pretty smile,
Makes the living worth the while.
So I’ve got to run around,
Telling people what I’ve found.
Refrain
And when I told them how beautiful you are,
They didn’t believe me.
They didn’t believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You’re the loviest girl that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert’nly am goin' to tell them,
That I’m the man whose wife one day you’ll be.
They’ll never believe me.
They’ll never believe me.
That from this great big world you’ve chosen me!
Don’t know how it happened quite,
May have been the summer night.
May have been, well, who can say.
Things just happen any way,
All I know is I said «yes!»
Hesitating more or less,
And you kissed me where I stood,
Just like any fellow would.
Refrain
And when I told them how wonderful you are,
They didn’t believe me.
They didn’t believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You’re the lovliest thing that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert’nly am goin' to tell them,
That I’m the girl whose boy one day you’ll be.
They’ll never believe me.
They’ll never believe me.
That from this great big world you’ve chosen me!
