Seems to me you're rather fond of playing;
seems to me you'll never settle down.
Tell me, do you think I'm wrong in saying:
"If you love me, why are you delaying?"
Of your loving libels
I have had a preview;
on a stack of Bibles,
swear and I'll believe you.

Cross your heart and hope to die
that you'll be true,
and so will I,
for ever and for ever and a day!
Cross your heart and hope to die
that I'm the apple of your eye
and never will you ever get away!
Mornings we will kiss goodbye
at evening kiss hello;
Sundays we will never be apart, sweetheart,
Let it rain! The sun will shine
if I am yours and you are mine
for ever and for ever cross your heart.

Cross your heart and hope to die
that you'll be true,
and so will I,
for ever and for ever and a day!
Cross your heart and hope to die
that I'm the apple of your eye
and never will you ever get away!
Mornings we will kiss goodbye
at evening kiss hello;
Sundays we will never be apart, sweetheart,
Let it rain! The sun will shine
if I am yours and you are mine
for ever and for ever cross your heart.

Really dear, you shouldn't reprimand me;
yet I must forgive you when you do.
Though a little fibber you may brand me,
It's because you do not understand me.
Which of us is straighter?
Which in morals, looser>
I will answer later,
first we'll hear from you, sir.

Cross your heart and hope to die
that you'll be true,
and so will I,
for ever and for ever and a day!
Cross your heart and hope to die
that I'm the apple of your eye
and never will you ever get away!
Mornings we will kiss goodbye
at evening kiss hello;
Sundays we will never be apart, sweetheart,
Let it rain! The sun will shine
if I am yours and you are mine
for ever and for ever cross your heart.

Cross your heart and hope to die
that you'll be true,
and so will I,
for ever and for ever and a day!
Cross your heart and hope to die
that I'm the apple of your eye
and never will you ever get away!
Mornings we will kiss goodbye
at evening kiss hello;
Sundays we will never be apart, sweetheart,
Let it rain! The sun will shine
if I am yours and you are mine
for ever and for ever cross your heart.
