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
