Biography in Bahasa Indonesia :
Grup musik rock AKA (singkatan dari Apotik Kali Asin, apotek milik orang tua Ucok Harahap, tempat mereka bermarkas dan latihan) dibentuk di Surabaya pada 23 Mei 1967 dengan formasi awal: Ucok Harahap (keyboard/vokal utama), Syech Abidin (drum/vokal), Soenata Tanjung (guitar utama/vokal), Harris Sormin (guitar/vocal) dan Peter Wass (bass). Peter Wass digantikan oleh Lexy Rumagit karena cedera ketika granat yang disiapkan untuk aksi panggung grup rock Ogle Eyes di Lumajang tiba-tiba meledak dan melukainya.

Cross My Heart
AKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you more
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
That's right
Baby I need your body (soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, will never be alone
You know how it go on a late nights
Working like a slave till the daylight
Bitches coming at you through the grapevine
Way smart coming at me with a steak knife
What's beef? Beef is when you
(Nah forget it that's not the vibe)
You remind me of my Jeep (I wanna ride)
I've been thinking 'bout you every twenty-one days
It's kinda ironic twenty-one is your age
I needed somebody who could give me my space
Only God can judge me, put respect on my name
Singing my praises make me feel like a King
But you ain't afraid to put me back in my place
When I get stuck in my ways
(Aye)
I can't get you out my mind
Oh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you more
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
That's right
Baby I need your body (soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, will never be alone
You know colored boys love harder
You can have inches
You can have followers
Photoshop thickness
But if you ain't got a thick skin
You can't handle my aura
Battery dead where your phone? Let me call up
Sleeping in the bed
I just pulled up, it's a foreign
Different time zones on my head
Spent my whole December
Checked to go and clear my head (big bread)
Jabu was using Google to tell the Uber what he was thinking in Zulu
Before the driver turned around and said
"Bro I speak really good English"
I'm busy looking out the window
Thinking how you been
Ever since we met we've been speaking
Every morning, every evening
It's ironic we don't know how to communicate
We just gotta turn on the volume, we better pray
These are the promises
You gotta say with a ring
I can't get you out my mind
Oh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you more
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
That's right
Baby I need your body (soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, will never be alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Do what you gotta do
Go make her last name yours
Ever-lasting love
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Invest your sweat and blood
You got, you got the juice
We complement each other
I can't get you out my mind
Oh baby I need that water
Every time we say goodbye
I wish that I held you more
Inside
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Absence make my heart grow fonder
That's right
Baby I need your body (soft touch)
Give me good love and give me your trust
You are my one and only
My super model
Where you go, I follow
Cross my heart and hope to die, will never be alone

Jabu was using Google to tell the Uber what he was thinking in Zulu
Sometimes words cannot accurately express my feelings
Before the driver turned around and said
Our communication may not always be perfect
"Bro I speak really good English"
I am not always good at expressing myself
I'm busy looking out the window
I am lost in thought about us
Thinking how you been
Wondering how you are doing
Ever since we met we've been speaking
We have been in constant communication
Every morning, every evening
We talk every day
It's ironic we don't know how to communicate
Despite our constant communication, we struggle to truly understand each other
We just gotta turn on the volume, we better pray
We need to keep trying to communicate and hope for the best
These are the promises
These are the things I promise to do for you
You gotta say with a ring
I will make these promises official with a ring
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Get up and get moving
Do what you gotta do
Do what needs to be done to make her yours forever
Go make her last name yours
Marry her and make her a part of your family
Ever-lasting love
A love that will never die
Tattoo, tattoo, tattoo
Commitment to each other
Invest your sweat and blood
Work hard for each other
You got, you got the juice
You have what it takes to make it work
We complement each other
We make each other better
