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
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
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
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 love this song You Won't Get To Heaven if you break my heart so please don't break it this is my song
Ahh,the lovely music and vibes of the seventies.A dream moment in time.!!!🌏🎸🎧🎤🎺👍😁🥀♥️🍸🍹📷🔊
Dionne Warwick may have done it first, but the Stylistics had this one nailed!
And you won't get to heaven if you break my heart that is so true stylistic love you guys my song
The strings are magnificent. Sweet memories.
70's classic r £ b! Never forgotton tunes! Best.era of music!
....Beautiful ...
I guess no one is getting to Heaven!
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.
I just love this track, gorgeous soul music from a wonderful soul group, with style.
Love love love this!
The Stylistics were one of my favorites during my high school days. I miss the 70s music!
You Tube = Time Machine
listening in 2019..still good as 20yrs or more ago
I think Burt Bacharach is one of the best writers of all time. You add Russel Thompkins and Dionne Warwick you got a masterpiece.
My favorite by the Superior Stylistics. Yeah baby.
Who else hears this song and longs to go back to a time when this world was a much less cruel and hateful place? I’m just saying......
"I've been hearing rumors about, how you play around. Though I don't believe what I hear, still it, gets me down."
That!
Everytime I hear this beautiful song I feel like I must be in heaven ☀️🌝🙏🏽
so beautiful and heart warming.
My "Wednesday One On One"...The Manhattans vs The Stylistics...singers. Thank for the upload, BakNDaDay. Blessings.
nothing like meeting them :)
Question, does anyone know where the Stylistics are today and what they are doing NOW?
I'm still listening in 2019, i was brought up with music like this. Happy Days.
2019 🎉
I can listen to them all day 💞
, well hopefully I did not break anybody's heart but I know I've been hurt. It's not a good feeling. It's July 5th 2019 and hopefully. This beautiful love me for me. Cuz I know she could be with anybody. I don't have a lot of money. I'm not homeless cable TV washing machine and dryer. But I don't have a car.

My favorite song in stylistics nice song i love it i remember the fast.
My favorite song in stylistic i love it very nice song.
Playing LP records on my parents console stereo - growing up in Concord, CA in the 60s and 70s
summer nights sneaking out my window. Memories of my youth
Both parents gone, tears flowing down my cheeks. I miss you Mom and Dad!
I'M NOT TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART....MY HEART IS BREAKING ..
when i first heard this I was elated. the best song of 1971 Timeless.
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!
Those voices...heavenly
My fave Stylistics remake! ❤️❤️😍😍💕💕💕 ...
Beautiful song I have always liked it but disappointed to see the black power fist on the video. Totally unnecessary.
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
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
LOVE IT, ARE YOU LISTENING ANGELS , SEND MY MOM AND DAD MY LOVE

PERFECTION
They can't match it nowadays .... very difficult to match.
just sampled the shit out of this song god bless this band
I love the stylistics❤❤
beautiful song beautiful arrangement Stylistics aren't capable of messing up anything all their songs are awesome
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
You Sir, are correct. Not that you didn't already know that, lol. And, as already mentioned, recorded by Dionne Warwick in '64.
In the days of Real Music,Real Women, Real Cars and Real Gasoline.
These were some baaaad cats coming up they along with others made such great music! Thai Russell can saaaan!!!
Get rid of current charts as it's all crap ! Music...my fanny aunt !! This is what I call music!!!!!!😁😁😁
So sad about the 180-thumbs down...they must be deaf.
I wanted to share this but a stupid Prager U video preceded it. No thanks!
yesterday, day , tomorow the best magnificent!!!
We all thought the Stylistics were so beautiful back in the 70's. I'm so glad there is a youtube so that young people can actually experience that beauty.
You wont get to heaven if you don't respect me God's watching lovely song though
My guy just shared with me this song made him think of me and he realized somethings and he's going to do better.
I loved that song
Russell Tompkins incredible range and Thom bell arrangements classic
and yes misses Shirley Butler you're a fan of real music and as you say this music is in the class of its own enjoy Shirley
so if you break your promise baby the Angels up in heaven will see and you'll never get to heaven if you break my heart great lyrics they don't make them like this anymore
Darnell Webb OMG This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree Darnell? When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN! ! MEMORIES WOW! !
so folks if you have someone this good to you you be good to them or the golden rule is you'll never get to heaven if you break their heart that's for real
I love this the intro mother told me to always follow the golden rules and you can't go wrong love you Stylistics Russell Thompkins Jr great music
I will never forget the instruments and the rehearsals in my grandmother's living room
Pretty song that brings on sad memories......how many more miles I ask
Yes another one of those songs love it
Love Thom Bell's talent.
Must say Dionne's original version of this beautiful song is still my favourite, but boy, these guys certainly take it to another soulful level. Great 70's soul hit, what memories!!
One of My Favorite Songs!! who's Listening in 2018!!!

...every time my heart was enticed by another women...this song would make me weep..for I couldn't bear to...break my wife's heart...thus I tell my wife all my secrets and it has made our relationship ...super strong !
I'm tearing up as I hear this song because it evokes happy childhood memories from the early 1970s.
Agreed 100%

Agreed, this not only brings back memories, but makes me think of songs like 'Devotion' by Earth Wind & Fire', 'If You Think You're Lonely Now' by Bobby Womack, & 'Darling, Darling Baby' by The O'Jays.
