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.

[Chorus]
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart.
So be very careful not to make us part.
You wont get to heaven if you break my heart

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around.
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it gets me down.
If you ever should say good-bye
I'd feel so awful, the angels would cry.

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa La,
La, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la. la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa La, la,
La, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa

The Stylistics

The Stylistics are a soul music vocal group, and were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, and were composed of lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads, graced by the soaring falsetto of Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the lush productions of Thom Bell, which helped make the Stylistics one of the most successful soul groups of the first half of the 1970s." During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive U.S. R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New". more »
