[Intro]
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

[Verse 1]
I'm tempted, my darling, to steal you away
Don't let me cross over, stay out of my way
You know that I love you and I'm not the stealing kind
But I'm faced with heartache at love's cheating line

[Chorus]
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

[Verse 2]
I tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep on saying that you love me too
I know if I lose you, not a dream will I have left
I don't want to cheat, dear, but I can't help myself

[Chorus]
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
