| 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
|
| You said you would love me long, and never would do me wrong
|
| And faithful you’d always be
|
| Oh, baby, you must be loony to trust a lower
|
| than low two time like me
|
| You said I’d have everything, a beautiful diamond ring
|
| A bungalow by the sea
|
| You’re really naive to ever believe a full of baloney phoney like me
|
| Say! |
| How about the time you went to Indiana
|
| I was lyin' I was down in Alabama!
|
| You said you had some business you had to complete
|
| What I was doin' I would be a cad to repeat
|
| What about the evenings you were with your mother
|
| I was romping with another honey lamb
|
| To think you swore our love was real
|
| 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 |
