Don't Break Your Promise To Me
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
I tried to be a knight in shinin' armour
Dreams come true
Your swinging love and shoulder
I did all the things you asked me to
You said our love would never ever change
Our feelings would remain the same
So, why you wanna leave me, why?
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
And like a story-book love, you showered me with affection
You gave me diamonds and pearls and all your worldly possessions
You did it all to keep me happy
Knowing I'd be here right here with you
I guess that there's a lesson to be learned
The pages of love have turned
I'm the one who needs you most, why?
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
We built a dream we thought would last forever
Our love has been tried and tested
And has been through much stormy weather
But if it takes me to push my pride aside, I'll get down on my knees
And with no hesitation, I'll say baby, please, please don't go
Now, a promise is supposed to be a sacred thing
When two people share that magic moment, ooh yeah
Words that mean a lot are soon forgotten, baby
How I wish they were never, never, never spoken
I need you now, I need you here
Oh, I had so much love to give
But you took that love for granted, yes, you did
Without giving it a chance to grow and grow and grow and grow, oh
Don't break your promise, to me
Don't break your promise to me
See, I love you, I need you
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
I tried to be a knight in shinin' armour
Dreams come true
Your swinging love and shoulder
I did all the things you asked me to
You said our love would never ever change
Our feelings would remain the same
So, why you wanna leave me, why?
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
And like a story-book love, you showered me with affection
You gave me diamonds and pearls and all your worldly possessions
You did it all to keep me happy
Knowing I'd be here right here with you
I guess that there's a lesson to be learned
The pages of love have turned
I'm the one who needs you most, why?
Don't break your promise to me
You told me that you love me, girl, you love me
Promises are made to keep, ooh-ooh-ooh
We built a dream we thought would last forever
Our love has been tried and tested
And has been through much stormy weather
But if it takes me to push my pride aside, I'll get down on my knees
And with no hesitation, I'll say baby, please, please don't go
Now, a promise is supposed to be a sacred thing
When two people share that magic moment, ooh yeah
Words that mean a lot are soon forgotten, baby
How I wish they were never, never, never spoken
I need you now, I need you here
Oh, I had so much love to give
But you took that love for granted, yes, you did
Without giving it a chance to grow and grow and grow and grow, oh
Don't break your promise, to me
Don't break your promise to me
See, I love you, I need you
Don't break your promise to me
