Somethin' Smith Miscellaneous It's A Sin To Tell A Lie It's A Sin To Tell A Lie Somethin' Smith and the Redheads Written by Billy Mayhew - Peaked at # 7 in 1955 - Previously charted in 1935 at # 1 by Fats Waller and # 5 by Victor Young - Later charted at # 99 in 1964 by Tony Bennett 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, ever tell another white lie Took a little doll out on a date last night Next to her, *Gravel Gertie* 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 gettin' set to be my blushin' bride If she leads me to the altar, then I'm sunk cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk So Lord have mercy on a no 'count sinner Give me one more chance to let another guy win 'er Cross my heart and I hope to die I'll never, never, EVER tell another white 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 TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *Gravel Gertie" was the rather-ugly wife of B. O. Plenty in the Dick Tracy comic strip. |
