How Could You Believe Me?

Lyrics

[ELLEN, spoken] Don't you ever lie to me again [TOM, spoken] I didn't lie to ya! [ELLEN, spoken] You didn't lie to me? You didn't lie to me? You wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face, you— [TOM, spoken] Don't say anything you're gonna regret [ELLEN, spoken] Why, I, I, ah! [TOM] How could you believe me when I said "I love you" When you know I've been a liar all my life? [ELLEN, spoken] I can't believe what you put me through [TOM] I've had that reputation since I was a youth [ELLEN, spoken] You're tellin' me [TOM] You must have been insane to think I'd tell you the truth [ELLEN, spoken] Ah! [TOM] How did you believe me whеn I said we'd marry [ELLEN, spoken] Don't say it, don't say it [TOM] When you know I'd rather hang than havе a wife? [ELLEN, spoken] I asked you not to say it [TOM] I know I said [ELLEN, spoken] What? [TOM] I'd make you mine [ELLEN, spoken] Huh [TOM] But who would know that you would go for that old line? [ELLEN, spoken] I'll kill ya [TOM] How could you believe me when I said "I love you" When you know I've been a liar [ELLEN] I know you've been a liar [TOM] I've been nothing but a liar [ELLEN] Nothing but a liar [TOM] All my doggone cheatin' life [ELLEN] You said you would love me long [TOM, spoken] I don't even know what that means [ELLEN] And never would do me wrong [TOM, spoken] Aw, honey, you know I never would [ELLEN] And faithful you'd always be [TOM, spoken] Well, I am faithful now [TOM] Oh, baby, you must be loony to trust A lower-than-low two-timer like me [ELLEN] You said I'd have everything [TOM, spoken] Yes, and I meant that! [ELLEN] A beautiful diamond ring [TOM, spoken] Well, maybe pyrite [ELLEN] A bungalow by the sea [TOM, spoken] What? You have your stuff [TOM] You're really naive to ever believe A full-of-baloney phony like me [ELLEN, TOM, BOTH] Say, how about the time you went to (I know) Indiana [TOM] I was lyin', I was down in Alabam' [ELLEN, spoken] Ah! [ELLEN] You said you had some business [TOM, spoken] I did! [ELLEN] You had to complete [TOM] I did, but what I was doin' I would be a cad to repeat [ELLEN, spoken] Yeah [ELLEN] What about the evenings you were with your mother? [TOM] I was rompin' with another honey lamb [ELLEN] To think you swore [TOM, spoken] What? [ELLEN] Our love was real [TOM, spoken] Yeah [TOM] But baby, let us not forget that I'm a heel [ELLEN, spoken] I'll kill ya [TOM] How could you believe me when I said "I love you" When you know I've been a liar [ELLEN] I know you've been a liar [TOM] I've been nothing but a liar [ELLEN] Nothing but a liar [ELLEN & TOM] All your / my doggone cheatin' life
