Don't Let Me Cross Over
Love's Cheating Line: Dolly Parton's Heartfelt Temptation
Lyrics
I'm tempted, my darlin' to steal you away
I feel tempted to take you away
Don't let me cross over, stay out of my way
Please prevent me from doing so, stay out of my path
'Cause you know that I love you and I'm not the stealin' kind
Despite my love for you, I'm not inclined to steal
But I'm faced with heartache here at love's cheating line
Facing heartache at the point where love involves betrayal
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Request not to cross the line of infidelity in love
You belong to another and can never be mine
Acknowledging that you belong to someone else and cannot be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Expressing that getting closer to you would be a heavenly experience
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Pleading not to cross the line of love's cheating nature
I've tried to forget you but what else can I do
Admitting attempts to forget you, but feeling helpless
When your eyes keep saying that you want me too
Noting that your eyes indicate a desire for me
And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
Understanding that losing you would leave no dreams behind
I don't want to cheat, dear but I can't help myself
Expressing a reluctance to cheat, despite inner struggles
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Reiterating the plea not to cross the line of love's betrayal
You belong to another and can never be mine
Reaffirming the awareness that you are committed to another
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Believing that getting one step closer to you would be heavenly
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Requesting again not to cross the line of love's unfaithfulness
Don't let me cross over love's cheating line
Final plea to avoid crossing the line of love's betrayal
