Never Make a Promise Songtext
von Shinehead

Now I don′t have to think about it
I've never been loved

I only dream about it
And wonder what it was
But now I think I know
It′s clear to me

You make me understand
I'm so proud to say I love you
So proud to be your man
Yes I am
I promise I'll never hurt you
Never make you cry
Oh no


Promise I′ll never hit you
Word is bond, Selassie-yah
′Cause I know I'll keep you safe
Keep you warm
I′ll keep you satisfied
I'll be your sunshine in the morning
I′ll be your everything at night
Ooh

You told me what you wanted
And I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
I never make a promise

That I can't keep
That ain′t me
You told me what you wanted
And I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
I never make a promise

That I can't keep
That ain't me


Ain′t no way to get around it
Girl, you′re stuck with me
Baby
Did you know that you'd be surrounded
By my love and ecstasy?
This is the start of one great love affair
That ain′t never never gonna end
We can sail the world together
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
This is where it begins

Oh, you told me what you wanted
And I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
I never make a promise
That I can't keep
That ain′t me
You told me what you wanted

And I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
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 got nothing to lose
I give my whole world to you
And I never make a promise
That I can′t keep
That ain′t me

I'm a man of my word
For you I′m always concerned
That you'll never get hurt

For better, for worse
And I never make a promise
That I can′t keep
That ain't me
