Lyrics

  1. You know it’s a sin to tell a lie
    Still you keep saying, “I love you”
    It may be true, I wish I knew
    But I’m giving fair warning to you

Chorus
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

  1. The love that I give you dear will live
    Not for a day but forever
    So don’t pretend it in the end
    I am saying to you as a friend
