I don't have to think about I never been loved Well, I only dreamed about I wondered what it was But now I think I know It's clear to me You made me understand I'm so proud to say I love you I'm so proud to be your man, yes I am I promise I'll never hurt you I'll never make you cry, no I promise I'll never hit you Cross my heart and hope to die 'Cause I know I'll keep you safe I'll keep you warm I'll keep you satisfied I'll be your sunshine in the morning Be your everything at night You told me what you wanted I gave you what you need I told you that I love you Make it good for you and me And I never make a promise That I can't keep That ain't me You told me what you wanted I gave you what you need I told you that I love you Make it good for you and me And I never make a promise That I can't keep That ain't me Ain't no way to get around it Now you're stuck with me, baby, baby Did you know that you'd be surrounded By my love and ecstasy This is the start of one great love affair That's never ever never gonna end We can share the world together Oh, this is where it begun Oh, girl I'll stand by you If you give me your hand I'll make love to you baby Your every wish is my command Let's play out your fantasies oh, I can lose your mind Take you places you ain't never been before I promise you it's alright You told me what you wanted I gave you what you need I told you that I love you Make it good for you and me And I never make a promise That I can't keep That ain't me You told me what you wanted I gave you what you need I told you that I love you Make it good for you and me And I never make a promise That I can't keep That ain't me If I make a promise to you Then baby that's what I'll do I have nothing to lose I give my whole world to you (I'll never make a promise that I can't keep) I'm a man of my word For you I'm always concerned That you'll never be hurt It's for better or worse (I'll never make a promise that I can't keep)
