They Didn't Believe Me

Lyrics

And when I told them how beautiful you are

They didn't believe me, they didn't believe me

Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair

Are in a class beyond compare

The most beautiful girl one could see

And when I tell them, and I'm certainly going to tell them

That I'm the man whose girl one day you'll be

They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me

That from this great big world you've chosen me

And when I tell them, and I'm certainly going to tell them

That I'm the man whose girl one day you'll be

They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me

That from this great big world you've chosen me
