Don't Cross Your Heart Lyrics - Soft Talk - Shelby Lynne

(Tony Haselden - Tim Mensy) 

You can't turn your back and walk away 

Until the cards are stacked against us 

And you thought it through 

But you're gonna lose when it crosses over 

Then life turns defenceless and it'll turn on you 

Oh if you've loved before don't try to deny it 

You can't ignore the way you feel inside 

Chorus 

Don't cross your heart 

It's a fight you can't win 

You lose your mind 

Don't cross you heart 

Your heart gonna break you every time 

What you do is up to you 

If you wanna play it smart 

Honey don't cross your heart 

You don't despatch a perfect love 

It takes time to make it 

You gotta start somewhere 

If the truth be known 

A (?diamond ring?) is just a piece of stone 

Until it shapes it with tender love and care 

Chip away until you get to the truth 

Oh I can't make you stay 

But whatever you do 

Chorus 

What you do is up to you 

If you wanna play it smart 

Honey don't cross your heart
