How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life? piano leadsheet with chords

Level 4Bb114 BPMAlan Jay Lerner
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

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 reputtion 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 twotimer like me.

You said I'd have ev'rything,

a beautiful diamond ring,

a bungalow by the sea.

You're really naive to ever believe a full of balloney phoney like me.

Say! no good, good for nothin' life.
