Promises Lyrics by India Arie

Promises Lyrics


    When i think about the turn my life has taken
    I know it's because of you, that i receive so many blessings
    I had a home but no privacy, i didn't know a thing about my legacy
    When i realized you were there for me, i called on your name and you came
    And you did, just what you said, for that i'll love you forever
    You kept, your word to me, for that i'll love you forever

    Chorus
    A promise, is a promise in my eyes
    Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
    The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
    A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way

    I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
    Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his
    Own
    It wasn't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance
    At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed
    And she did, just what she said, for that he'll love her forever
    She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever

    Chorus
    A promise is a promise, in my eyes
    Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
    The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
    A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
    A man's only as good as his word

    [instrumental break]

    Check this out

    Her wedding day and she's thinking ¡®bout the way he won her affection
    She was so cynical about love ¡®cause she didn't want to be heart broken again
    He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so
    She
    Took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real
    And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever
    He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever

    Chorus:
    A promise is a promise, in my eyes
    Can't say you're gonna just to compromise
    The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
    A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way
    No way, no, there ain't no way
    A man's only as good as his word
