Jagged Edge - Promise Lyrics

Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go?
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise

Said I know that things just ain't been right
Forever's such a very long time
We never even had a fight
Don't let no one change your mind
'Cause they don't know how much I care
They don't know the things we share unless they're here, babe
But since they're not
How can they say I'm not true?
Oh, oh, oh-woah, oh-woah

If you need a love, I got the love that you need (said I got love)
Ain't no way they can take that from me (they can't take that from me)
And I pray to God that one day they will see
They'll see that I'm all that you need (oh, oh, oh, woah)

Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go? (Oh, baby)
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true (I'll stay true)
Don't let nobody say it ain't so (don't let nobody say it ain't so)
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright (alright, alright)
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise

When I think of all the times I said
That I will see you another day
Baby, nothing's gonna change, yes, it is
Said you mean the world to me
And baby girl, I keep you first, yeah
'Cause that's the kind of love you deserve
And you know I got a love if you need a love, yeah (yeah)

If you need a love, I got the love that you need (oh yeah)
Ain't no way they can take that from me (ain't no way I'm gonna let them take it)
And I pray to God that one day they will see
Girl, I swear to you, you 'cause a promise, oh girl (oh)

Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go? (Woah, yeah)
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise (yeah)
That I will never leave (I will never leave you)
And everything will be alright (girl, it's gonna be alright, yeah)
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe (girl, believe in me)
I promise

You're the only I want in my life ('cause you're the only I want in my life)
And I promise everything is alright, girl (promise everything will be alright, yeah)
You're the only I want in my life
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby (and, baby, I need you, yeah)

You're the only I want in my life (I love you)
And I promise everything is alright, girl (and, oh, babe)
You're the only I want in my life (woah, yeah)
I promise, promise, promise, promise, you, baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)

You're the only I want in my life
And I promise everything is alright, girl (yeah)
You're the only I want in my life (and, baby, you)
I promise, promise, promise, promise you baby

You're the only I want in my life
