LYRICS

I was always, baby, I was always

Well, almost always true to you

Met a pretty mademoiselle

Her papa owned a small hotel

(Mademoiselle? Small hotel!?)

Oh, I was almost always true to you

I resisted, tho' my arm was twisted

I was almost always true to you

Stayed away from drinkin' wine

Thought about you all the time

(Drinking wine? All the time!?)

Oh, I was almost always true to you

Kept refusin', don't jump to conclusions

I was almost always true to you

I would never grab like this

I would never steal a kiss

Oh, I was almost always true to you

I was almost always true to you
