"They Didn't Believe Me" lyrics - DINAH WASHINGTON

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!
