Nothing is promised to me and you
We can't predict what will happen between us.


So why will we let this thing go
Why would we give up on our relationship if we don't know what the future holds?


Baby I promise that I'll stay true
I promise to be faithful to you.


Don't let nobody say it aint so
Don't listen to anyone who doubts our love.


And baby I promise
I'm making a commitment to you.


That I will never leave
I won't abandon you.

I'll make sure things work out for us.

We never even had a fight
Our relationship is strong and we've never had a big argument.


Don't let no one change your mind
Don't be influenced by anyone who doesn't believe in us.


Cause they don't know how much I care
Others can't understand how deeply I feel about you.


They don't know the things we share unless they here babe
They can't comprehend the depth of our relationship unless they are a part of it.


But since they're not
Since they aren't a part of our relationship,


How can they say that I'm not true, oh, oh, oh
how can they say that my love for you isn't genuine?


If you need a love, I got the love that you need (Said I got the love oh oh)
I have a strong, deep love that you can rely on.


Aint no way they can take that from me (They can't take that from me)
Nobody can take away the love that I have for you.


And I pray to God that one day they will see
I hope that someday the doubters will understand how special our relationship is.


They'll see that I'm all that you need oh oh oh oh
They'll recognize that I am the perfect partner for you.


When I think of all the times I said
I reflect on all the promises I've made to you.

Said you mean the world to me
You are the most important thing in my life.
