Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I cannot tell you how I love you
Still I feel blue
Since I met you, you have me worried
I sometimes doubt the things that you say
I’m jealous all the time
There’s one thing on my mind
Chorus
Those telling eyes just telling lies
They fool me all the time
Just when I feel I’m your ideal
I catch you flirting, my poor heart hurting
You seem so pure, still I’m not sure
That all your heart is mine
And though I love those lovely eyes
I really realize those telling eyes are telling lies
- I love your tender voice and sweet smile
The way we act while we’re alone
Oh, then I love you
I love each charm you have about you
But I will tell you true
You have one bad fault, too
