How Could You Believe Me When I Told You That I Loved You - Danny Kaye

Written by：Burton Lane/Alan Jay Lerner

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I've been a liar all my life

You've had that reputation since you we're a youth

I must have been insane to think you'd tell me 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 could know that I could 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 timer 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

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 evening you were with your mother

I was romping with another honey lamb

I think you swore our love was real

But baby leave 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

Oh another good for nothing lie
