The Stylistics You'll Never Get to Heaven (If
you Break my Heart) Lyrics:
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.
(Oh, no.)
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...
