A Promise Is a Promise

It didn't go as planned
It don't mean it's the end, no
It don't mean that I can't
(Can't can't can't can't)
It don't mean that I won't
Just try to understand, oh
Just try to understand
('stand 'stand 'stand 'stand)
I said I'd do right by you
(I'd do right, yeah)
I said I'd be right by you
(I'd be right, yeah)
I said that we'd see The louvre, yeah
That's exactly what we'll do

Try to cool down
There's only so much that I can do now
Know my actions look like a ruse now
And I can see that you're unamused now
Yeah
But I said I'd do right by you
And I said I'd be right by you
Every bit of it was true, yeah
I wasn't dishonest
A promise is a promise

I haven't been the best of men, best of gents, best of lovers
There's still about a million things on your list we haven't covered
I know that a girl like you, a pearl like you can't wait forever
You were made for jewels, perfumes, honeymoons and sunny weather
And I don't wanna take that from you
That's why I'm really, really trying
I know right now you're unmoved
I know that you feel confined
You might wanna give me the boot
I know that you feel inclined
But baby (Baby)

Try to cool down
There's only so much that I can do now
Know my actions look like a ruse now
And I can see that you're unamused now
Yeah
But I said I'd do right by you
And I said I'd be right by you
Every bit of it was true, yeah
I wasn't dishonest
A promise is a promise

Might sound familiar
It might sound familiar
It might sound familiar
Oh oh oh oh
But I swear to deliver
I swear to deliver
Yeah, I swear to deliver
Oh oh oh oh
