You`re like a child within
The one who just won`t give in
Oh how you love to play
I wanna understand
I wanna do all I can
I wanna make you stay

Where will I find you
Next time I lose you
I`m just a fool for your touch

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It`s getting stronger
I can`t wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

Your kisses are bittersweet
Alibies incomplete
I know what you didn`t say
Now haven`t you had your fun
Is anything left undone
Why can`t we meet half way

When will you find out
Now that the truth`s out
This is more than a careless romance

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It`s getting stronger
I can`t wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

True love is never quite enough
It`s so unsure
Is it what you`re dreaming of
Darling, it`s time you let me in
Maybe tonight
We can start again

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It`s getting stronger
I can`t wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

Cross my heart
It`s getting stronger
I can`t wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
It`s getting stronger
I can`t wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
