Cross My Heart Lyrics

[Intro]
Ayoburr

[Pre-Chorus: AKA, JR & Both]
I can't get you out my mind
Ooh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you longer
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
Let's ride

[Chorus: AKA]
Baby I need your body (Soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, we'll never be alone

[Verse 1: AKA]
You know how it go on a late nights
Working like a slave till the daylight
Bitches coming at you through the grapevine
Way smart coming at me with a steak knife
What's beef? Beef is when you...
(nah forget it that's not the vibe)
You remind me of my Jeep (I wanna ride)
I've been thinking 'bout you every twenty-one days
It's kinda ironic twenty-one is your age
I needed somebody who can give me my space
Only God can judge me, put respect on my name
Singing my praises make me feel like a King
But you ain't afraid to put me back in my place
When I get stuck in my ways
(Aye)

[Pre-Chorus: AKA, JR & Both]
I can't get you out my mind
Ooh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you longer
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
Let's ride

[Chorus: AKA]
Baby I need your body (Soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, we'll never be alone

[Verse 2: AKA]
You know coloured boys love harder
You can have inches
You can have faux locs
Photoshop thickness
But if you ain't got a thick skin
You can't handle my aura
Battery dead where your phone? Let me call up
Sleeping on the bed
I just pulled up it's a foreign
Different time zones on my head
Spent my whole December cheque to go and clear my head (Big bread)
Jabu was using Google to tell the Uber what he was thinking in Zulu
Before the driver turned around and said
"Bro I speak really good Englis-"
I'm busy looking out the window
Thinking how you been
Ever since we met we've been speaking
Every morning, every evening
It's ironic we don't know how to communicate
We just gotta turn on the volume, we better pray
These are the promises you gotta seal with a ring

What did AKA say about "Cross My Heart"?

“I always wear my heart on my sleeve and I love a good pop song. I wanted to make a song where I was a bit more vulnerable. When I put this project together, I divided it into three pieces—the heart, mind and soul. The heart is ‘Holy Water’, ‘Energy’ and ‘Monuments’; the mind is ‘Heavy Drank’, ‘Python’, ‘Mufasa’ and ‘Casino’; and the soul is this one, ‘Finessin’’, ‘African Man’ and ‘Mr Perfect’, which are all about my current significant other. She was very instrumental in inspiring [the four soul] songs.”
