The Promise

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