It's A Sin To Tell A Lie- Billie Holiday

I was talking to a friend last night about how awkward it is when someone tells you they love you way too quickly. How do you "love" someone after just a few weeks? Sorry if that sounds cynical but "Love at First Sight", not buying it. When I was younger I would reply "I Love You Too", seems like the decent thing to do, yes, no??? Do you really want to hurt the person you are in a relationship with? As I got older, I realized that was not the right thing to do. So the last man that said "I Love You" received the reply "Thank You". What else could I say? So I starting thinking about the lyrics to this song. Straightforward and the truth. 

"It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" was written by Billy Mayhew and first released by Fats Weller in 1935. It has been covered by countless artists including The Inkspots, John Denver, Bobby Vinton & Patti Page. I chose Billie Holiday's version. I do not think I need to explain why, I mean it's Billie Holiday. 

I love you, yes, I do, I love you

If you break my heart I'll die

So be sure that it's true when you say, 'I love you'

It's a sin to tell a lie

And there you have a very valuable life lesson in a lively song by the great Lady Day!
