Harry Belafonte They Didn?t Believe Me song 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
