[Verse 1]
When you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there

When you're in doubt
When you're in danger
Take a look all around
Baby, I'll be there

[Chorus]
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 would

[Verse 2]
When your day is through
And so is your temper
Take a look all around
Baby, I'll be there

Sometimes when I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no thought to them
[Chorus]
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if I had to walk the world to make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you
I would
