Verse:

You know it's a sin to tell a lie,

Still you keep say -ing, "I love you!"

It may be true, I wish I knew,

But I'm giv -ing fair warn -ing to you.

 

Chorus:

Be sure it's true when you say "I love you",

It's a sin to tell a lie.

Mil -lions of hearts have been bro -ken,

Just be -cause these words were spo -ken.

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!
