About My Heart Tells Me

"My Heart Tells Me" is a song written by Harry Warren with lyrics by Mack Gordon. It is the theme to the 1943 American musical film Sweet Rosie O'Grady, in which it is sung by lead actress Betty Grable. A 1940s standard, the song has been recorded by numerous artists, including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, and Etta Jones. The film's popularity contributed to the commercial success of the version of the song recorded by bandleader Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra with vocals by singer Eugenie Baird. Titled "My Heart Tells Me (Should I Believe My Heart?)", it topped The Billboard's National Best Selling Retail Records chart for five weeks in 1944. In 1944, the song was performed by Glenn Miller with vocals in German by Johnny Desmond and broadcast by the American Broadcasting Station in Europe (ABSIE) to German soldiers as part of the station's efforts to demoralize them.

My heart tells me this is just a fling
Yet you say our love means everything
Do you mean what you are saying
Or is this a little game we're playing
My heart tells me I will cry again
Lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through
Will I be sorry if I do
Should I believe my heart or you

My heart tells me I will cry again
Lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through
Will I be sorry if I do
Should I believe my heart or you
