It's a Sin to Tell a Lie - John Denver

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, never tell another white lie

Took a little girl out on a date last night

Next to her Gravel 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 can t 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 and hope to die, I ll never, never, never, tell it one more time

I ll never tell another white lie
