Fingers Crossed
by Jerkatorium

When I told you that I love you
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that I’d be true to you,
you better bet my fingers were crossed then too.
Cross my heart and hope to die,
I had my fingers crossed each time
and so that’s why I won’t apologize
for any of my little white lies.

Chorus:
I had my fingers crossed,
I can’t be held responsible for what I said.
I had my fingers crossed,
Made promises when I meant the reverse instead.

When I said you’re looking great today
I had my fingers crossed.
When I said that dress looks good on you
you know I must’ve had my fingers crossed then too.
When you find out secondhand
I kissed your sis at Disneyland,
don’t reprimand, just understand
you should’ve kept your eyes on my hands.

[Chorus & guitar solo]

At the church when I said “I do,"
well I had my fingers crossed.
When I signed that marriage license
it’s a lie, since I still had my fingers crossed then too.
Yeah my fingers did a twister
then I went and kissed your sister,
and if you’re pissed about that tryst I guess
you should’ve kept your eyes on my wrist.

[Chorus x2]

The verse vocal melody has over 40 pitch changes and two melismas -- at 160 BPM. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to sing, and it took me hours and hours and hours to get it right, which I actually never did. Thank God for technology.
