E
First time I crossed my heart
I was beggin' baby please
At your bedside Down on my knees
         A
When I crossed my heart
         E
When I crossed my heart
    B                                E
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

                        A
Well you may think the world is black and white
            E
And you're dirty or you're clean
             A
You better watch out you don't slip
                B
Through those 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

Little boys, little girls,
they know their wrongs from their rights
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
