D#                               C#     D#
I can explain about last night, though things
didn't look just right.
G#     F#          G#        F#      D#m   C#
Please believe me there was nothing wrong, I
D#                      G#
thought about you baby, all night long.
         A#       G#           F#
Cross my heart, I hope to die, well, I wouldn't
            D#m G#m
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, I hope to die, well, I wouldn't
tell you no lie.

Chorus:
G#                 Fm    G#    D#
Please believe me when I say, wild horses couldn't
              G#
drag me away from you.
               Fm      G#               A#
Cause I don't have to look too hard to see what I've
got in my own back yard.

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.

F#                     D#m   F#
I wouldn't tell you no lie.. I wouldn't tell you no
D#m
lie..
