First Line: You believed the words I said
Last Line: You believed me!
Subject(s): Diaries
You believed the words I said --
That I'd never loved before you;
Cocked your pretty little head,
Heard my ardent "I adore you."
In your diary, my sweet,
Boast how well your charms deceived me,
But be sure that you repeat --
You believed me!
