Lyrics They Don't Believe Me - Ernestine Anderson

They Don't Believe Me

Got the cut-est lit-tle way
Like to watch you all the day
And it cer-tain-ly seems fine
Just to think that you’ll be mine
When I see your pret-ty smile
Makes the liv-ing worth the while
So I’ve got to run a-round
Tell-ing peo-ple what I’ve found
And when I told them
How beau-ti-ful you are
They did-n't be-lieve me!
They did-n't be-lieve me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks
Your hair are in a class be-yond com-pare
You’re the lov-li-est girl that one could see!
And when I tell them
And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them
That I’m the man whose wife one day you’ll be
They’ll nev-er be-lieve me
They’ll nev-er be-lieve me
That from this great big world
You’ve cho-sen me!
Don’t know how it hap-pen'd quite
May have been the sum-mer night
May have been, well, who can say!
Things just hap-pen an-y way
All I know is I said «Yes!»
Hes-i-tat-ing more or less
And you kissed me where I stood
Just like an-y fel-low would
And when I told them how won-der-ful you are
They did-n't be-lieve me!
They did-n't be-lieve me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cur-ly hair
Are in a class be-yond com-pare
You’re the lov-li-est thing that one could see!
And when I tell them
And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them
That I’m the girl whose boy one day you’ll be
They’ll nev-er be-lieve me
They’ll nev-er be-lieve me
That from this great big world
You’ve cho-sen me!
