The Promise

(originally by When In Rome)

 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)
 I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
 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)
 I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
 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)
 I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
 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 ...

 I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
 I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
 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)
 I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
 And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
 I promise, I promise you I will ...
 I will...
 I will...
 I will
