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 Greta Gerty 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 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 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 one more time
I'll never tell another white lie
Do, do, di, do, do
