DON'T TELL LIES
(Jimmie Crane (m) Al Jacobs (l) )

as recorded by Eydie Gorme
1956


Don't tell lies,
Don't try to hide what I can see!
I'm losing you,
I know we're through
So don't tell lies!

Cross your heart,
And tell the truth for once to me!
Then say goodbye
And let me cry,
But don't tell lies!

You say you love me
And we won't part;
How can you love me
When someone else is in your heart?

Oh don't tell lies,
I know you love somebody new!
It's sad for me,
Because you see
I still love you!

(You say you love me
And we won't part;
How can you love me
When someone else is in your heart, oh?)

Oh no, don't tell lies,
I know you love somebody new!
It's sad for me,
Because you see
I still love you!
(So don't tell lies!)
