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 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 time 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 Say, 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 evenings you were with your mother I was romping with another honey lamb To think you swore our love was real 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
