John Denver It's a Sin to Tell a Lie song lyrics

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, I hope to die

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

Took a little girl out on a date last night

Next to her Gramma Gerty 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 and oh how I lied

Now she's getting set to be my blushing bride

If she leads me to the altar, I'm sunk

Cause I cannot tell the preacher I was drunk

So Dear Lord have mercy on a no account sinner

Give me one more chance to let another guy win her

Cross my heart, I hope to die

I'll never, never, never, tell one more time

I'll never tell another white lie

O-lee-o-lee-o-lee-o
