The Promise

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...

...
If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end

I'll always be there.
And 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 promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you'll 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 gripe to bear.
...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise you)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
...
I promise, I promise you...

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

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise you)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will.
...

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
