They Don't Believe Me - Ernestine Anderson

Got the cut-est lit-tle way

Like to watch you all the day

And it cer-tain-ly seems fine

Just to think that you’ll be mine

When I see your pret-ty smile

Makes the liv-ing worth the while

So I’ve got to run a-round

Tell-ing peo-ple what I’ve found

And when I told them

How beau-ti-ful you are

They did-n't be-lieve me!

They did-n't be-lieve me!

Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks

Your hair are in a class be-yond com-pare

You’re the lov-li-est girl that one could see!

And when I tell them

And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them

That I’m the man whose wife one day you’ll be

They’ll nev-er be-lieve me

They’ll nev-er be-lieve me

That from this great big world

You’ve cho-sen me!

Don’t know how it hap-pen'd quite

May have been the sum-mer night

May have been, well, who can say!

Things just hap-pen an-y way

All I know is I said «Yes!»

Hes-i-tat-ing more or less

And you kissed me where I stood

Just like an-y fel-low would

And when I told them how won-der-ful you are

They did-n't be-lieve me!

They did-n't be-lieve me!

Your lips, your eyes, your cur-ly hair

Are in a class be-yond com-pare

You’re the lov-li-est thing that one could see!

And when I tell them

And I cert-n'ly am goin' to tell them

That I’m the girl whose boy one day you’ll be

They’ll nev-er be-lieve me

They’ll nev-er be-lieve me

That from this great big world

You’ve cho-sen me!
