[he]
Got the cutest little way,
Like to watch you all the day.
And it certainly seems fine,
Just to think that you'll be
mine.
When I see your pretty smile,
Makes the living worth the
while.
So I've got to run around,
Telling people what I've found.
Refrain
[Boy]
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 loviest girl that one
could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am 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!
[she]
Don't know how it happened
quite,
May have been the summer night.
May have been, well, who can
say.
Things just happen any way,
All I know is I said
"yes!"
Hesitating more or less,
And you kissed me where I stood,
Just like any fellow would.
Refrain
[Girl]
And when I told them how
wonderful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly
hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the lovliest thing that
one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell
them,
That I'm the girl whose boy 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!
