Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
