How Could You Believe Me?

(앨범: In Person At The Plaza - 1965)

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 cheating life

[Girl] You said you would love me long, and never would do me wrong
And faithful you'd always be
[Boy] Oh, baby, you must be loony to trust a lower
than low two time like me
[Girl] You said I'd have everything, a beautiful diamond ring
A bungalow by the sea
[Boy]You're really naive to ever believe a full of baloney phoney like me

[Girl] Say! How about the time you went to Indiana
[Boy] I was lying I was down in Alabama!
[Girl] You said you had some business you had to complete
[Boy] What I was doing I would be a cad to repeat
[Girl] What about the evenings you were with your mother
[Boy] I was romping 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, nothing but a liar
