The Promise (Studio 1987 Version - 2021 Remastered)

When 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

Just 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

Will always be there

Sometimes if I shout

It's not what's intended

The words just come out

With no cross to bear (just come out, just come out, come out, come out)

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 wait around awhile I'll make you fall for me

I (promise you), 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)

But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me

I (promise you), I promise you I will

Gotta tell ya (gotta tell ya)

Gotta tell ya (gotta tell ya)

Gotta tell ya (gotta tell ya)

Gotta tell ya

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 wait around a while I'll make you fall for me

I (promise you), 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)

But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me

I (promise you), I promise you I will

I will

I will
