Promises

Now I don't have to think about it

I've never been in love

I only dream about it

And wondered what it was

But now I think I know

It's clear to me

You make me understand

I'm so proud to say I love you

So proud to be your man

Yes, I am

I promise to never hurt you

Never make you cry, oh no

Promise to never hit you

Word is born, Selassie I

'Cause I know I'll keep you safe

I'll keep you warm

I'll keep you satisfied

I'll be your sunshine in the morning

I'll be your everything at night, ooh ooh

You told me what you wanted

And I gave you what you need

I told you that I love you

Make it good for you and me

I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me

You told me what you wanted

And I gave you what you need

I told you that I love you

Make it good for you and me

I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me

Ain't no way to get around it

Girl, you're stuck with me, baby

Did you know that you'd be surrounded

By my love and ecstasy?

This is the start of one great love affair

That'll never, never gonna end

We can sail the world together

Ye-ye-ye-yeah

This is where it begins, oh

You told me what you wanted

And I gave you what you need

I told you that I love you

Make it good for you and me

I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me

You told me what you wanted

And I gave you what you need

I told you that I love you

Make it good for you and me

I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me

If I make a promise to you

Then baby, that's what I'll do

I got nothing to lose

I'll give my whole world to you

And I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me

I'm a man of my word

For you I'm always concerned

That you'll never get hurt

For better for worse

And I never make a promise

That I can't keep

That ain't me
