[Verse 1]
If you need a friend
Don’t look to a stranger
You know in the end
I’ll always be there
But 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, I promise you I will

[Verse 2]
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I’m gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It’s not what’s intended
These words just come out
With no cross to bear

[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
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I’ll make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will
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 planned them to be)
(I promise you)
In fact, as you walk the world I’d make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I will

[Bridge]
I will, I will, I will
Yeah
Gotta tell ya (Gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)
I need to tell ya (I need to tell ya)
Gotta tell ya (Gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya, gotta tell ya)

[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
(I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I’ll 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
(Right words to say)
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
(I promise you)
In fact, as you walk the world I’d make you fall for me
(I promise you)
I promise you, I promise you I wil

[Outro]
I will, I will
