The Promise

If you need a friend

Don’t look to a stranger

You know in the end

I’ll always be there

But when you’re in doubt

And when you’re in danger

Take a look all around

And I’ll be there

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me

I promise, I promise you I will

When your day is through

And so is your temper

You know what to do

I’m gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout

It’s not what’s intended

These words just come out

With no cross to bear

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me

I promise, I promise you I will

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be

In fact, as you walk the world I’d make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I will, I will, I will

Yeah

Gotta tell ya (gotta tell ya) Gotta tell ya

I need to tell ya (I need to tell ya)

Gotta tell ya (gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be

In fact, as you walk the world I’d make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I will,

I will
