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 thinkin' of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I plan 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 cries to bear

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say (I promise you)

I know they don't sound the way I plan them to be (I promise you)

But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)

I promise, I promise you I will

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say (I promise you)

I know they don't sound the way I plan them to be (I promise you)

And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me (I promise you)

I promise you, I promise you 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 thinkin' of the right words to say (I promise you)

I know they don't sound the way I plan them to be (I promise you)

But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)

I promise, I promise you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say (I promise you)

(I'm sorry, but I'm, right words to say)

I know they don't sound the way I plan them to be (I promise you)

If I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me (I promise you)

I promise, I promise you I will

I will

I will
