Harry Belafonte — They Didn't Believe Me lyrics

Lyrics

And when I told them how beautiful you are
They didn’t believe me. They didn’t believe me Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair.
Are a class beyond compare
You’re the loveliest girl that one could see
And when I tell them
And I’m certainly goin' to tell them
That I’m the man whose wife one day you’ll be They’ll never believe me. They’ll never believe me That from this great big world you’ve chosen me They’ll never believe me. They’ll never believe me That from this great big world you’ve chosen me
