Why

Swearin' to God" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Denny Randell. It was recorded by Frankie Valli and released in May 1975 as a single from his album Closeup.[3][4][5][6] It is a love song whose lyrical hook is a more literal use of the expression "I swear to God" (i.e., "I mean this sincerely"): I'm swearin' to God / So glad He's givin' me you The first Valli song to incorporate the disco style (it runs four minutes as a single but just over ten minutes on the album),[5] "Swearin' to God" features Patti Austin singing a response to Valli's praise in the bridge.[3][6] "Swearin' to God" hit number 6 on the U.S. Billboard charts[4] and also charted #31 in the UK.[7] Cash Box said of the edited single version that "Frankie's distinct vocal delivery meets a big, brassy arrangement and the result is a song that will surely skyrocket to the top

(Ooh) swearin' to God
There's no one else on earth I'd rather be
Mmm... swearin' to God
You made me see so I believed in me
Oh you've been fillin' my cup
Till I'm runnin' over with joy
From you heaven sent love
Just touch me again
I'm king of all men... and reigning from above

Swearin' to God (swearin' to God)
Your mistress of the world and all I am
(Don't tell the angels)
Swearin' to God (swearin' to God)
Your where I won in paradise... began
No one gets me up there like you can
But girl you know I'm only human
And I'm swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
So glad you've givin' me, you

(I was known for you, baby)
Girl ain't you glad we made it
(Made to give my heart and soul to you, baby)
I'm so very glad you gave it
(Hey baby were together)
Try livin' on forever as long
As long as we live (as we live)

Swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
Why dedicate my life to loving you
(Don't tell the angels)
I'm swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
I cross my heart and hope to die... I do
Just call me your one woman lover
I can't even look at another
I'm swearin' to god (swearin' to god)
So glad I'm livin'
I'm swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
For all he's givin' me
Swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
So glad he's givin' me you
Whoa, swearin' to god (swearin' to God)
Look what he's givin' me (swearin' to God)
More than the world can see (swearin' to God)
He's givin' me you... oh
(I love you)
