[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge 2]
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
[Verse 4]
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
