The Promise

If you need a friend


Don't look to a stranger


You know in the end, I'll always be there


But 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 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


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
