 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
