They Didn't Believe Me - Marian McPartland, Elvis Costello

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

The most beautiful girl that one could see

And when I tell them and I’m certainly going to tell them

That I’m the man whose girl 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

And when I tell them and I’m certainly going to tell them

That I’m the man whose girl 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
