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

Well, cross my heart and I hope to die

I'll never, never, never tell another white lie

Took a little doll out on a date last night

Next to her, Gravel Gertie would have looked alright

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 her

Cross my heart and I hope to die

I'll never, never, never tell another white lie

Be sure it's true when you say, "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 sign to tell a lie
