Lyrics Cross My Heart and Hope to Try - Billy Joe Royal

Cross My Heart and Hope to Try

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
