The Promise (Redux)

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

(I promise you)

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

(I promise you)

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 you; I promise you I will

Gotta tell you

Need to tell you

Gotta tell you

I\'ve gotta tell 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, 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 you; I promise you I will

I will, I will
