Why Don't You Believe Me?
Joni James Lyrics
Why don't you believe me?
It's you I adore
Forever and ever, can I promise more?
I've told you so often the way that I care
Why don't you believe me?
It just isn't fair
[Chorus:]
Here is a heart that is lonely
Here is a heart you can take
That you can keep or break
How else can I tell you, what more can I do?
Why don't you believe me?, I love only you
[Chorus]
