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 that 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, never tell another white lie
Took a big ugly dame on a date last night
Next to her gravel gerty looks 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 plannin' to be my blushing bride
If she leads me to the altar I'm sunk
Cause I can not tell the preacher I was drunk
Lord have mercy on a no-count sinner
Give me one more chance to let another guy win her
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll never, never, never tell tell another white lie
