How Could You Believe Me? - Mandy Patinkin

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I’ve been a liar all my life

I’ve had that reputation since I was a youth

You must have been insane to think I’d tell you the truth

How could you believe me when I said we’d marry

When you know I’d rather hang than have a wife

I know I said I’d make you mine

But who would know that you would go for that old line

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I’ve been a liar

Nothing but a liar, all my doggone cheatin' life

You said you would love me long, and never would do me wrong

And faithful you’d always be

Oh, baby, you must be loony to trust a lower

than low two time like me

You said I’d have everything, a beautiful diamond ring

A bungalow by the sea

You’re really naive to ever believe a full of baloney phoney like me

Say!

How about the time you went to Indiana

I was lyin' I was down in Alabama!

You said you had some business you had to complete

What I was doin' I would be a cad to repeat

What about the evenings you were with your mother

I was romping with another honey lamb

To think you swore our love was real

But, baby, let us not forget, that I’m a heel

How could you believe me when I said I love you

When you know I’ve been a liar, nothing but a liar
