From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Always True to You in My Fashion" is a 1948 show-tune by Cole Porter, written for the musical Kiss Me, Kate. In the lyrics, the singer protests that she is always faithful to her main love in her own way, despite seeing, and accepting gifts from, wealthy older men. The song was notably sung by Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie. It is based on a similarly ironic poem by Ernest Dowson (1867-1900) that featured the line: "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion."
