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'll 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'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me, I promise, I promise you... 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) And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me, I promise, 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) I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise) But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me, I promise, I promise you... 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.
