It's A Sin To Tell A Lie

John Denver · Forever John [1998]

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
