Lyrics
[Chorus]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go?
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise
[Verse 1]
Said I know that things just ain't been right
Forever's such a very long time
We never even had a fight
Don't let no one change your mind
'Cause they don't know how much I care
They don't know the things we share unless they're here, babe
But since they're not
How can they say that I'm not true? Oh, oh, oh, whoa-whoa
[PreChorus]
If you need a love, I got the love that you need
Said, I got the love, whoa
Ain't no way that they can take that from me
They can't take that from me
And I pray to God one day they will see
They'll see that I'm all that you need
Oh, oh, oh, whoa
[Chorus]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go?
Oh, baby
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright
I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise
[Verse 2]
When I think of all the times I said
That I will see you another day
Baby, nothing's gonna change, yes, it is
Said you mean the world to me
And, baby girl, I'll keep you first, yeah
'Cause that's the kind of love you deserve
And you know I got a love if you need a love, yeah
[PreChorus]
If you need a love, I got the love that you need
Oh, yeah
Ain't no way that they can take that from me
Ain't no way I'm gonna let them take it
And I pray to God one day they will see
And I swear to you, you 'cause I promise, oh, girl
[Chorus]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go?
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
I will never leave you
And everything will be alright
I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise
[Chorus]
You're the only one I want in my life
'Cause you're the only one I want in my life
And I promise everything is alright, girl
Promise everything will be alright, yeah
You're the only one I want in my life
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby
You're the only one I want in my life
I love you
And I promise everything is alright, girl
You're the only one I want in my life
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby
You're the only one I want in my life
And I promise everything is alright, girl
You're the only one I want in my life
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby
You're the only one I want in my life
