Lyrics Dinah Washington – They Didn’t Believe Me

Got the cutest little way
Like to watch you all the day
And it certainly seems fine
Just to think that you’ll be mine

When I see your pretty smile
Makes the living worth the while
So I’ve got to run a-round
Telling people what I’ve found

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 com-pare
You’re the loveliest girl that one could see

And when I tell them
And I certn’ly am goin’ to tell them
That I’m the man whose wife 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

Don’t know how it happen’d quite
May have been the summer night
May have been, well, who can say
Things just hap-pen an-y way

All I know is I said «Yes!»
Hesitating more or less
And you kissed me where I stood
Just like an-y fellow would

And when I told them how wonderful you are
They didn’t believe me! They didn’t believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair
Are in a class beyond com-pare
You’re the lovliest thing that one could see

And when I tell them
And I certn’ly am goin’ to tell them
That I’m the girl whose boy 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
