Promises |
Mmm, yeah |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh |
When I think about the turn my life has taken |
I know it’s because of you that I receive so many blessings |
I had a home but no privacy, I didn’t know a thing about my legacy |
When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came |
And you did, just what you said, for that I’ll love you forever |
You kept, your word to me, for that I’ll love you forever, uh-huh |
A promise is a promise in my eyes |
Can’t say you’re gonna just to compromise |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
A promise is a promise, you can’t deny, there’s no way |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah |
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old |
Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his |
own |
It wasn’t easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance |
At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed |
And she did, just what she said, for that he’ll love her forever |
She kept her word to him, for that he’ll love her forever, uh-huh |
A promise is a promise in my eyes |
Can’t say you’re gonna just to compromise |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
A promise is a promise, you can’t deny, there’s no way |
A man’s only as good as his word |
Haha, check this out |
Her wedding day and she’s thinking 'bout the way he won her affection |
She was so cynical about love 'cause she didn’t wanna be heartbroken again |
He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so |
she |
Took a chance on him and she’s glad she did because he came for real |
And he did, just what he said, for that she’ll love him forever |
He kept his word to her, for that she’ll love him forever |
A promise is a promise in my eyes |
Can’t say you’re gonna just to compromise |
The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined |
A promise is a promise, you can’t deny, there’s no way |
No way, no, there ain’t no way |
A man’s only as good as his word |
