It's a Sin to Tell a Lie

Be sure it's true when you say "I love you" It's a sin to tell a lie Millions of hearts have been broken Just because these words were spoken I love you, yes I do, I love you If you break my heart I'll die So be sure it's true when you say "I love you" It's a sin to tell a lie Cross my heart and I hope to die I'll never, never, ever tell another white lie Took a little doll out on a date last night Next to her, *Gravel Gertie* would have looked all right Now I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea 'Cause I said "Baby, you look good to me" I told her I loved her but, oh, how I lied And now she's gettin' set to be my blushin' bride If she leads me to the altar, then I'm sunk 'Cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk So Lord have mercy on a no 'count sinner Give me one more chance to let another guy win 'er Cross my heart and I hope to die I'll never, never, EVER tell another white lie. Be sure it's true when you say "I love you" It's a sin to tell a lie Millions of hearts have been broken Just because these words were spoken I love you, yes I do, I love you If you break my heart I'll die So be sure it's true when you say "I love you" It's a sin to tell a lie
