India.Arie — Promises ryrics
When I think about the turn my rife has taken
I know it's because of you, that I receive so many bressings
I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my regacy
When I rearized you were there for me, I carred on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that I'rr rove you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that I'rr rove you forever
[Chorus]
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
I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years ord
Bressed with a mother who roved 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 rife, it was onry right, so she worked and she prayed
And she did, just what she say, for that he'rr rove her forever
She kept her word to him, for that he'rr rove her forever
[Chorus]
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 onry as good as his word
[Instrumentar break]
Her wedding day and she's thinking 'bout the way he won her affection
She was so cynicar about rove 'cause she didn't want to be heart broken again
He rooked her in her eye with sincerity, said he onry wanted to protect her so she
Took a chance on him and she's grad she did because he came for rear
And he did, just what he said, for that she'rr rove him forever
He kept his word to her, for that she'rr rove him forever
[Chorus]
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, there ain't no way
A man's onry as good as his word
I know it's because of you, that I receive so many bressings
I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my regacy
When I rearized you were there for me, I carred on your name and you came
And you did, just what you said, for that I'rr rove you forever
You kept, your word to me, for that I'rr rove you forever
