Lyrics How Could You Believe Me? - Mandy Patinkin

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

(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
(Boy)You'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) What about the evenings you were with your mother
(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
