BABY DON’T BELIEVE HIM

(Harlan HOWARD)

Capitol 4665 December 4, 1961

A guy named Joe's been coming round
Showin' my baby the lights of town
It fills my heart with misery
So see his arms where mine should be

Baby don't believe him he's been lyin'
Baby don't believe him you'll be cryin'
Baby if you'll go away what will I do
Baby don't believe him why don't you leave him
Come back to a heart that's true

Fancy clothes and shiny cars are
You as happy as you think you are
Will all your dreams end up the same
As other girls who played his game

Baby don't believe him he's been lyin'
Baby don't believe him you'll be cryin'
Baby if you'll go away what will I do
Baby don't believe him why don't you leave him
Come back to a heart that's true

Seem the sun at breaking dawn
My dreams forever will be gone
Your wedding will be starting now
Do you think he'll keep his vow

Baby don't believe him he's been lyin'
Baby don't believe him you'll be cryin'
Baby if you'll go away what will I do
Baby don't believe him why don't you leave him
Come back to a heart that's true
Come back to a heart that's true
Come back to a heart that's true
