[edit]
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 looking at you.

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.)

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around.
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down.
If you ever should say goodbye,
It would be so awful the angels would cry.

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.)

Instrumental break.

(If you break my hear-art, break my heart.)

I can hardly wait for the day when we say, "I do."
It's the day I dreamed of so long. Now it's comin' true.
You will promise to cherish me.
If you break your promise the angels will see.

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! oh! oh.

Never get to heaven if you break my heart. (Break my heart.)
Never get to heaven if you break my heart. (Break my heart.)
Never get to heaven if you break my heart. (Break my heart.)
Never get to heaven if you break my heart. (Break my heart.)
Fade.
Never get to heaven if you break my heart. (Break my heart.)
Never get to heaven if you break my heart...

The Stylistics biography

The Stylistics, were one of the best-known Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, when members of two Philadelphia soul joined forces after the bands dissolved. Russell Thompkins, Jr., James Smith, and Airrion Love hailed from The Monarchs; James Dunn and Herbie Murrell were from The Percussions.

In 1970, the group met local producer and owner of Sebring Records, Bill Perry, who had them record, "You're a Big Girl Now," a song their road manager, Marty Bryant, co-wrote with Robert Douglas, a member of their back-up band, Slim & the Boys. The single became a regional hit for Sebring Records. Different in style from the lavish productions they would be known for, it made a sizable regional impression, but Perry didn't have the money to get it noticed nationally.

However, when approached, the Avco label, knowing a hit when it heard one, bought the record for $10,000 (all of which Perry supposedly pocketed.....MORE.....(full The Stylistics biography)
