Cross My Heart and Hope to Try - Billy Joe Royal

I know I broke my promise to you

I betrayed your trust in me

I gave in to temptation

I was too blinded to see

That you were all I ever needed

I’m beggin' you, girl, please understand

Darlin', can’t you forgive me (forgive me)

For being such a foolish man

Cross my heart and hope to try

I’ve learned my lesson well this time

I’ll never tell another lie

This time it’s do or die

Cross my heart and hope to try

Oh, what could I have been thinking

(Cross my heart and hope to try)

She was more than just a friend

(Cross my heart and hope to try)

Lord, I know how much I hurt you

I’ll never break your heart again

No, I don’t wanna be a memory

(Cross my heart and hope to try)

Of a love you’d soon forget

(Cross my heart and hope to try)

And though I’ve taken you for granted

Please don’t give up on me yet

Cross my heart and hope to try

I’ve learned my lesson well this time

I’ll never tell another lie

This time it’s do or die

Cross my heart and hope to try

Cross my heart and hope to try

I’ve learned my lesson well this time

I’ll never tell another lie

This time it’s do or die

Cross my heart and hope to try

I’ll never tell another lie

This time it’s do or die

Cross my heart and hope to try
