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'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me

I promise you, 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'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you

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

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you

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'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you...

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

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will. I will. I will
