Cross My Heart And Hope To Die

(album: Sings For The King - 2018)

I can explain about last night
Though things didn't look just right
Please believe me there was nothing wrong
I thought about you baby all night long

Cross my heart, hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie

Talk about a piece of rotten luck
You do a friend a favor and you wind up stuck
She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree
Very hard to handle like a model T

Cross my heart, hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie

Please believe me when I say
Wild horses couldn't drag me away from you
'Cause I don't have to look too hard
To see what I've got in my own backyard

So be forgiven and forget
But don't say my alibi's all wet
I miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumblebee just wants to fly back home

Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie, oh baby
I wouldn't tell you no lie, no siree
I couldn't tell you a lie, no
You know I wouldn't lie to you baby, yeah
I couldn't tell you a lie
