“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 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 Need to tell you Gotta tell you I've gotta 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 wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you
