the promise

Kelly Clarkson

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 yaa

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 will
I will
I will
