Jagged Edge · Other Songs - Jagged Edge
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go
Baby I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it aint so
And baby I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright, I
I promise these things to you
Girl just believe
I promise
[Verse 1:]
Shoulda known the things you say been right
Forevers such a very long time
We never even had a fight
Don't let no one change your mind
Cause they don't know how much I care
They don't know the things we share unless they here babe
But since they're not
How can they say that I'm not true, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge 1:]
If you need a love, I got the love that you need (Said I got the love oh oh)
Aint no way they can take that from me (They can't take that from me)
And I pray to God that one day they will see
They'll see that I'm all that you need oh oh oh oh
[Chorus:]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go (Oh baby)
Baby I promise that I'll stay true (I'll stay true)

And baby I promise

And everything will be alright, I (Alright alright I)
