Lyrics Eartha Kitt – How Could You Believe Me?
Text:
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
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 cheatin’ 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
BoyYou’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 lyin’ I was down in Alabama!
Girl
You said you had some business you had to complete
Boy
What I was doin’ I would be a cad to repeat
Girl
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
