2x
Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna get you down,
There was something you should know
Before you give up and go
I don't believe in a run-around
I just wanted to find myself
And show you how I feel.
If a promise ain't enough
2x
Then a touch says everything
Gotta hold you in my arms
2x
Do you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise ain't enough
Hold on to my love.
Though my words can't describe
How I'm feelin' all inside,
Does my touch say anything to you,
I'm not afraid to take time
'Cause I know you'll find,
That I'm real and my touch is true,
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all to you.
(Repeat Chorus) 2x
Oh yeah
Uhmmm..
Oh, it took a lifetime to find what I want
I won't let it get away.
(Repeat Chorus)
If a promise ain't enough
..... Hold on!
If a promise ain't enough
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love,
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love .....
(Repeat and Fade)
