Stylistics, The - 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 gets 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!

(If you break my heart, break my heart)

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

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...

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...

Stylistics, The You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart) Comments
  1. A.... S....

    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 wont get to heaven if you break my heart,oh no.

    I've been hearin' rumours 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
    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 wont get to heaven if you break my heart,oh no.

    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.

    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,oh no

    i can remember buying their first album, back in the early seventies, I was blown away with the vocals and lyrics. Thom Bell and Linda Creed, I think were the producers.

  18. c.... a....

    I just love this track, gorgeous soul music from a wonderful soul group, with style.

    "I've been hearing rumors about, how you play around. Though I don't believe what I hear, still it, gets me down."

    Playing LP records on my parents console stereo - growing up in Concord, CA in the 60s and 70s

    when i first heard this I was elated. the best song of 1971 Timeless.

  45. V.... T....

    May 18, 2019: My mother warned me NOT to enlist in the military (abusive father) or take graduate classes with a Baptist university. She was CORRECT twice, but failed to realize that I had been lured by one of the cousins as a teenager. The family blamed me for the rape, not realizing that the abusive dad had set the date up himself. Lie after lie nearly destroyed our lives, so listen to your Mom!

  46. B.... C....

    Those voices...heavenly

  47. T.... H....

    My fave Stylistics remake! ❤️❤️😍😍💕💕💕 ...

  48. P.... G....

    Beautiful song I have always liked it but disappointed to see the black power fist on the video. Totally unnecessary.

  49. M.... A....

    We must give credit to Almighty GOD for fueling Majesty into the music of the fifties through the seventies. Nothing will ever compare. Michael Abraham Dallaa,TX

  50. M.... A....

    The groups and some solo defines not only music with fond memories of our first love and relationships. The lyrics are Poetic for generations to come. No one can exceed the words and phrases.. No one. Michael Abraham Dallas,TX

  51. N.... A....

    LOVE IT, ARE YOU LISTENING ANGELS , SEND MY MOM AND DAD MY LOVE

  64. H.... d....

    although it sometime ago to the individual who insisted Linda Creed wrote this although she wrote many of the Stylistics songs and worked closely with Tom Bell to produce them this was penned by Hal David and Burt Bacharach

    H.... d....

    You Sir, are correct. Not that you didn't already know that, lol. And, as already mentioned, recorded by Dionne Warwick in '64.

  65. S.... S....

  71. T.... ....
