John Denver — Its A Sin To Tell A Lie

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
