I could never give? Doubt with lyrics
The song is "Why Are We So Happy?" (1930) [public domain]
You can see and hear a small excerpt here:
My attempt:
MEN CHORUS: We have tried to keep my secret from you.
(On my way you get just what you do)
GIRL: Why you boys are happy? I could never give.
MEN CHORUS: It is just a story old that we must confess.
I am not sure about the words of the second line. I also have doubts with the expression "I could never give".
Can "give" be used here in the sense of "understand"? Does she say another word different from "give"?
I need your help. Thanks.
