Lena Horne — 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 in a class beyond compare;
You’re the loveliest girl that one could see.
And when I tell them,
And I’m certainly going to tell them,
That I’m the man whose wife you’ll one day be,
They’ll never believe me, they’ll never believe me,
That from this great big world you’ve chosen me,
That from this great big world you’ve chosen me.
