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.
