The Promise

New Found Glory · From The Screen To Your Stereo II [2007]

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...

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 gripe 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, that make you fall for me

(I promise you)

I promise you, 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 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 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 have to walk the world to make you fall for me

(I promise you)

I promise you, I promise you I will ...

I will...

I will...

I will...
