Lyrics
- Where were you hiding all these years, dear
You little devil, say on the level
You make all sadness disappear, dear
When you speak of me
And when you say you love me
Chorus
I don’t believe it, but say it again
Say it again, say it again
You’re like an angel of love
Sent down from heaven above, to love me
You say I’m charming, you cuddle up near
Then whisper sweet nothings right in my ear
I don’t believe anything that you say
But say it, say it again
- You flatter me with words endearing
You say I’m charming, I’m so alarming
It’s true your compliments are cheering
I’m wild about them
But just the same I doubt them
Chorus
I don’t believe it, but say it again
Say it again, say it again
When you say dear I love you
I wonder if it is true, you fakir
You say I’m charming, can’t do without me
Can’t be without me, can’t live without me
I don’t believe anything that you say
But say it, say it again
