It's A Sin To Tell A Lie Lyrics

Artist: Fats Waller
Album: It's 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 heart 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

MONOLOGUE: Now, ya better be sure that it's true when you say "I LUV ya."
Honey chile, don'tcha know it's a sin to tell a lie? Whole LOTTA hearts have been
broken. Ya know why they were broken? Just for these foolish little words that
were spoken. Ya know what they were? "I LUV ya, I LUV ya." Darlin', ya know
doggone well I LUV ya and if ya break my heart I've GOT to die. So ya better be
sure that it's true when you come runnin' up here sayin' "I LUV ya" 'cause it's a sin
to tell a lie.

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

I'm an everyday pianist at a Cafe in Columbus Ohio, "Mozarts". Recently I've been having fun playing "it's a sin to tell a lie" in between great patriotic songs such as 'God bless America", and "i'm Proud to be an AMerican", and so forth. I certainly do notice the accomadating smiles on faces as I'm playing, in the first few days following the Obama landslide of the election 2008.
