Burt Bacharach
You’ll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)
[Verse 1]
Mama told me always abide by the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So, remember if you lie, too
Angels up in Heaven are lookin' at you
[Chorus]
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 2]
I've been hearin' rumors about how you mess 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
[Chorus]
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]
[Refrain]
If you break my heart
Oh, don't you break my heart
[Verse 3]
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
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise the angels will see
[Chorus]
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
