The Promise

the promise (studio 1987 version) - 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 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
