Verse 1:

You can make the prettiest speeches I have ever heard,
Darling, you excel at singing praises;
When I hold you in my arms, I thrill to ev'ry word,
Where do you get such lovely little phrases?

Chorus 1:

You say the sweetest things, baby,
You have me riding high.
You say the nicest things, baby,
When you say, "I adore you."
I would do most anything for you.
I'm such a fool for I believe you,
Yes, even when you lie.
My, you can say the sweetest things, baby,
But baby, don't you say bye-bye.

Chorus 2 (from movie):

You say the sweetest things, baby,
You have me riding high.
You say the nicest things, baby,
You're all that I desire,
Oh, you're such a lovable liar.
You say, "Hello," and I'm so happy,
So happy I could cry.
My, you can say the sweetest things, baby,
But baby, don't you say bye-bye.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

Though you get me wondering how it is you know so much,
You've the pow'r to set my pulses beating;
Like a harp responding to a music master's touch,
For ev'ry time, now matter where we're meeting:

[Chorus]
