promise
The Jagged Edge Lyrics

Nothing is promised to me and you
Our future together is uncertain, but that shouldn't be a reason to let go of what we have.

So why will we let this thing go?
We shouldn't give up on our relationship even though we don't know what's going to happen.

Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
I promise to always be faithful and honest with you.

Don't let nobody say it ain't so
Don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you that I'm not being truthful.

And, baby, I promise
I reaffirm my commitment to you.

That I will never leave
I vow to always be there for you and never abandon you.

And everything will be alright
I promise to do everything in my power to make sure everything works out and we'll be happy together.

I, I promise these things to you
I really want you to know that I will follow through with these promises.

Girl, just believe
I'm asking you to trust me and my promises.

Said I know that things just ain't been right
I acknowledge that our relationship has been troubled recently.

Forever's such a very long time
Our relationship is meant to last a lifetime, which is a long time to stay committed to someone.

We never even had a fight
Despite our troubles, we've never argued or fought with each other.

Don't let no one change your mind
Don't let anyone convince you to give up on us or doubt my love for you.

'Cause they don't know how much I care
Other people can't possibly understand how much I truly love and care for you.

They don't know the things we share unless they're here, babe
No one can truly understand our relationship unless they experience it themselves.

But since they're not
Since they are not here to witness the depth of our love and commitment...

How can they say I'm not true? Oh, oh, oh-woah, oh-woah
How can they accuse me of not being truthful when they don't really know what you and I have been through together?

If you need a love, I got the love that you need (said I got love)
I have all the love you could ever need in your life, and I'm willing to give it all to you.

Ain't no way they can take that from me (they can't take that from me)
No one can take my love for you away from me or make me stop loving you.

And I pray to God that one day they will see
I hope that one day those who doubt us will see the depth of our love and commitment.

They'll see that I'm all that you need (oh, oh, oh, woah)
They'll come to realize that I'm the one who can make you truly happy and meet all of your needs.

When I think of all the times I said
As I reflect on our memories and experiences together...

That I will see you another day
...I realize how much I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Baby, nothing's gonna change, yes, it is
Our relationship will only get stronger and better as time goes on.

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

And baby girl, I keep you first, yeah
I prioritize you above everything else in my life.

'Cause that's the kind of love you deserve
You deserve a partner who puts you first and loves you selflessly.

And you know I got a love if you need a love, yeah (yeah)
You can always count on me to provide you with all the love and support you need.

You're the only I want in my life
You are the only person I want to spend my life with.

And, baby, I need you, yeah
I need you in my life to feel complete and happy.

I love you
My love for you is real and unconditional.

You're the only I want in my life
I don't want anyone else but you.

And I promise everything is alright, girl
I promise that despite any problems or issues we face, everything will work out in the end.

I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby
I promise you that I will always love you and never give up on our relationship.
