How Could You Believe Me (with Jane Powell) Fred Astaire
Lyrics
This is the last time I'll ever go to a party with you
Will you put that in writing?
Oh, you're always making cracks, making cracks
Like what?
You're always humiliating me, humiliating me; didn't your mother never teach you no manners?
I never had no mother, we was too poor
What's the matter with you lately; you used to tell me you loved me. You used to treat me like a high-classed dame. Well, usedn't you?
So I used
So, now you admit it
I ain't admitting nothing
I'll give you one more chance. Do you love me or don't you?
No, I don't
Quit stalling! I want a direct answer.
Listen kid, there's one thing about you I can't understand
How could you believe me when I said "I love you" when you know I've been a liar all my life?
You've had that reputation since you was a youth
You must have been insane to think I'd tell you the truth
How could I believe you when you said we'd marry?
When you know I'd rather hang than have a wife. I know I said, "I'd make you mine."
Now wouldn't you know that I 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
You sure have been a liar
A double-crossing liar
A double-crossing liar
All my doggone cheatin' life
You said you would love me long
So what?
And never would do me wrong
Stop bending the suit
Faithful you'd always be
Me? Why, baby, you must be loony to trust a lower-than-low, two-timer like me
You said I'd have everything
Get her!
A beautiful diamond ring
Ha, ha, ha!
A bungalow by the sea
A bungalow yet! You're really naive to ever believe a full-of-baloney phony like me
Boy, I sure must have lost my head
You ain't lost nothing you never had
What 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 was with your mother?
I was rompin' with another honey lamb
To think you swore our love was real
Baby, leave us not forget that I'm a heel
How could I believe you when you said you loved me?
When you know I've been a liar
A good-for-nothing liar
All my good-for-nothing life
You know you've been a liar
I know I've been a liar
A double-crossing liar
A double-crossing liar
All your double-crossing life
Will you put that in writing?
Oh, you're always making cracks, making cracks
Like what?
You're always humiliating me, humiliating me; didn't your mother never teach you no manners?
I never had no mother, we was too poor
What's the matter with you lately; you used to tell me you loved me. You used to treat me like a high-classed dame. Well, usedn't you?

So, now you admit it

You know you've been a liar
I know I've been a liar
A double-crossing liar
A double-crossing liar
All your double-crossing life
