Jerome Kern — They Didnt Believe Me

(Verse 1) 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 around Telling people what I've found (Chorus) 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 You're the loveliest girl that one could see And when I tell them And I certainly 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 (Verse 2) Don't know how it happened quite May have been the summer night May have been; well, who can say? Things just happen any way All I know is I said "yes" Hesitating more or less And you kissed me where I stood Just like any fellow would (Chorus) 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 You're the loveliest girl that one could see And when I tell them And I certainly 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
