Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I just love the way that you make love to me
Can’t resist you with your charming way
Now it would be a shame, if this is just a game
And you don’t mean the things you say
Refrain
When you put your arms around me
And you say you’re glad you found me
Don’t cross your fingers, cross your heart
When you tell me with your kisses
What a thrilling moment this is
Don’t cross your fingers, cross your heart
Please make your mind up that you must play fair
Or you will wind up playing solitaire
Here’s my heart, come on and take it
Only promise you won’t break it
Don’t cross your fingers, cross your heart
- Do you tell those pretty things to ev’ryone
Are you really mine and mine alone?
You couldn’t be untrue, and say the things you do
Unless your heart is made of stone
