Swap It Out by Justin Bieber
(Enjoy the lyrics, at your own risk, here)
It's an honest try but on balance it still falls into the “mangle” category: There is no real concept of the binding nature of legal obligations, and a bit of wooliness about the implciations of speculative contracts at least if not for bona fide hedging purposes. and swapping hearts, which among young and unscarred people such as this, are largely fungible, the transaction seems to be light on substance so there's a question of adequate consideration.

Open up to me, it’s all you gotta do
Give me all your heart, swap mine out with you
Swap it out with you
Swap it out with you
Come into my world
I'll give my world to you [1]
We can swap swap swap it out
I can show you what I’m talking about[2]
Be obliged just to show you how
Follow my lead, that’s what you oughta do
No pressure [3]
Swapping out ain’t ever been a crime[4]
If it was then I’d do the time
Throw away the keys as long as I’m here with you forever.
