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

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 you, I promise you I will

When your day is through and so is your temper
You know what to do
I'll always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear

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 you, I promise you

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 I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will, I will, I will

got to tell you, got to tell you, got to tell you, got to tell you (repeats all over)

uh, uh, uh, uh

got to tell you, got to tell you, got to tell you, got to tell you

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 you, I promise you

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 I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

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 you, I promise you

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 I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will, I will, I will

got to tell you, got to tell you, got to tell you
