Cross My Heart

First time I crossed my heart, I was beggin', baby, please

At your bedside down on my knees

When I crossed my heart, when I crossed my heart

I crossed my heart, pretty baby, over you

Second time I crossed my heart, rain came in from the south

I was lyin' there with something sweet and salty in my mouth

When I crossed my heart, when I crossed my heart

When I crossed my heart, pretty darlin', over you

Well, you may think the world's black and white

And you're dirty or you're clean

You better watch out you don't slip

Through them spaces in-between

Where the night gets sticky and the sky gets black

I grabbed you, baby, and you grabbed me back

And we crossed our hearts, we crossed our hearts

Yeah, I crossed my heart

Well, little boys, little girls

They know their wrongs from their rights

Yeah, once you crossed your heart

You ain't ever supposed to lie

Well, life ain't nothin' but a cold, hard ride

I ain't leavin' till I'm satisfied

I cross my heart, yeah, I cross my heart

Well I cross my heart, pretty, darlin' over you
