Artist: Somethin' Smith & The Redheads Title: It's A Sin To Tell A Lie Released: 1955 Written by Billy Mayhew =======================================
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 getting set to be my blushing 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 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
