Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So remember, if you're untrue
Angels up in Heaven are lookin' at you
[Verse 2]
You'll never get to Heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to Heaven if you break my heart
Oh, no
[Verse 3]
I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still, it gets me down
If you ever should say goodbye
It would be so awful, the angels would cry
[Verse 4]
You'll never get to Heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to Heaven if you break my heart
Oh, no
[Verse 5]
If you break my heart
If you break my heart
[Verse 6]
I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
It's a day I dreamed of so long, now it's comin' true
And you will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise, the angels will see
[Verse 7]
You'll never get to Heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to Heaven if you break my heart
Oh, no
