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 that it’s true when you say “I love you.”
It’s a sin to tell a lie.

Patter:
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.

I will never tell another white lie.
