I Promise

I didn't realise
But now I've found the proof
(But now I know, but, now I know)
They tried to conceal the truth
But the truth is only you (Only you, oh)
I promise, I promise
To break all the rules (All the rules)
So when you need me (Need me, yeah)
I'll be there for you (I'll be there for you, oh)

I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Hey, I promise you)

Yeah, yeah, I ain't got a promise you already know
Stay locked, loaded and ready to roll
Ain't Hollywood still the same old song
When the lights flash green, I'm the first one to go
But ain't nobody ever done the same for me
I don't care but I play for keeps and
When the chips are down, no one else is around
You'll always depend on me cos
I'mma ride till the wheels fall off
I'mma keep shooting till there's no malt left
I'mma rep the streets in my hood
Till the point where there's no more breath

I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Yeah, I promise, oh, you, oh)
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Hey, I promise you)

Hey, yeah, now I can't promise the moon
But I'mma promise you this
I got your back when no one there
When times were hard, I took the hit
And handled that like a real man would
Take your blizzard like a grown man should
Baby, I'm a soldier, I came from the hood
I treat you like the queen that no man could
Call me old-fashioned, you ain't gotta work
See me on tour but I ain't gotta flirt
Cos I got a queen at home that leaves me to roam
She trusts me and that's what she means so
My, my heart won't fade away
Keeps, keeps pumping like an 808, and-a
Like the Nerds of Fame, I fought flame
I just can't stay away, oh

I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Yeah, I promise, oh, you, oh)
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, yeah)

Promises, promises
I promise to always be true to you
Promises, promises
I promise I'll always be there for you
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Baby, I promise you that)
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise to be there for you (Oh, I promise you)
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise (And I'll never, I'll never)
I promise to be there for you (And I'll never let go forever)
I promise, I promise, I promise, I promise (Forever true to you, babe)
I promise to be there for you (Hey, baby, I promise)
