[Verse 1]
Now and then
Do you wash your hands of me again?
Wish me anywhere but home
Drunk and on the end of your phone

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Oh, I know 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
Now you're no longer mine
If I should tell a lie
I'll cross my heart and hope to die
I hope we never die
I hope we never die
I hope we never die

[Outro]
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
