| If you’re a guy who’s had a gal in each and every port |
| and you forget the rules of love that life has always taught; |
| And if you broke and many hearts as ripples in a stream, |
| — Well, brother, here’s the only way that you can be redeemed! |
| Chorus; |
| Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge. |
| Change your reckless way of living, cross over the bridge. |
| Leave your fickle past behind you and true romance will find you. |
| Brother, cross over the bridge. |
| If you have built a boat to take you to the greenest isles |
| and if the boat is built of every lie you ever lied, |
| you’ll never reach your promised land of love, I guarantee, |
| 'cause lies cannot hold water and you’ll sink into the sea. |
| Chorus; |
| Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge. |
| Change your reckless way of living, cross over the bridge. |
| Leave your fickle past behind you and true romance will find you. |
| Brother, cross over the bridge. |
| I know it isn’t easy to resist temptation’s call, |
| but think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall, |
| 'cause someday you will find that you are hopelessly in love |
| and she’ll belong to someone else as sure as stars above. |
| Chorus: |
| Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge. |
| Change your reckless way of living, cross over the bridge. |
| Leave your fickle past behind you and true romance will find you. |
| Brother, cross over the bridge. |
| Cross over the bridge. |
