Cross My Heart and Hope to Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, I hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie


[Verse 2]
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, I hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
So, please forgive me and forget
Don't say my alibi's all wet
I miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home
Cross my heart, I hope to die
Well, I wouldn't tell you no lie
[Outro]
I wouldn't tell you no lie
No, no, no, no, no, no
I wouldn't tell you no lie

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
