Cross My Heart

Now and then
 Do you wash your hands of me again?
 Wish me anywhere but home
 Drunk and on the end of your phone
 From time to time
 Do you guess what's really on my mind?
 Guess that "How you keeping now?"
 Means "Where are you sleeping now"
 But of course it's not polite
 To ask you where you spent last night
 And if I did you might reply
 That I have no right
 And anyway I'm fine
 Glad that you're no longer mine
 If I should tell a lie
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die
 You'd be appalled
 If you knew what I was doing
 When you called
 Yes, I can see I'm blundering
 Always end up wondering
 Will it ever be alright
 To ask you where you spent last night
 And can it be polite
 The way we never write,
 Of course I don't have the time,
 And anyway I'm fine
 If I should tell a lie
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die
 I hope we never die
