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 ever tell the truth
How could you believe me when I said we'd marry
When you know I'd rather die than that have a wife
I know I said, "I'll 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, a good for nothing liar
All my good for nothin' life
Bridge
Girl: You said I'd have ev'rything, a beautiful diamond ring, a bungalow by the sea
Boy: You're really naïve to ever believe a 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 bus'ness you had to complete
Boy: What I was doin' I would be a cad to repeat
Girl: How about the evenings you were with your mother
Boy: I was rompin' 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, a good for nothing liar
All my good for nothin' life
Girl: And 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 ever tell the truth
And how could you believe me when I said we'd marry
When you know I'd rather hang than be a wife
I know I said, "I'll make you mine"
But, honey, you're so young, and that's an old, old line
How could you believe me when I said "I Love You"
When you know I've been a liar, a good for nothing liar
All my good for nothin' life
