It Couldn't Be True! 1946

Somebody said the craziest thing to me,
told me a tale that simply couldn't be!
It was just the silliest thing
that I ever heard,
and of course,
I don't believe a single word.

Somebody said that someone
saw you out last night,
Somebody said that someone
held you awf'lly tight.
Somebody was mistaken
for it can't be right,
It couldn't be true,
it couldn't be true,
or could it? Could it?
Somebody said they heard you
tellin' someone new,
all of the little love words
that you told me, too,
I wouldn't doubt you darlin'
I believe in you,
it couldn't be true,
it couldn't be true,
or could it?
