I don’t have to think about, I never been in love
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, babe
I’m so proud to say I love you
I’m so proud to be your man, yes, I am

And 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

You told me what you wanted, I gave you what you need
I told you that I’d 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, and I gave you what you need
I told you that I’d 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, never, never gonna end
We can share the world together
Oh, this is where it begun

You told me what you wanted, I gave you what you need (Alright)
I told you that I’d love you (Ooh), make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise that I can’t keep
That ain’t me (Girl)

You told me what you wanted, I gave you what you need
I told you that I’d love you, make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise that I can’t keep (Never, never)
That ain’t me (Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh, 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, I’ll make you lose your mind
Take you places you ain’t never been before, I promise you in time

You told me what you wanted, I gave you what you need
I told you that I’d love you, make it good for you and me (Alright, babe)
And I never make a promise (Never make a promise) that I can’t keep (No)
That ain’t me (Oh...oh...oh...)

You told me what you wanted (I’m so glad, I’m so glad I found you, baby)
I gave you what you need
(And I can’t imagine livin’ my life without you, baby)
I told you that I’d love you, make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise that I can’t keep (Oh, no, no, oh, no, no, oh, no, no)
That ain’t me

If I make a promise to you then, baby, that’s what I’ll do
I have nothin’ to lose, I give my whole world to you
I never (Never, never) make a promise that I can’t keep (Oh, no, no, no, no. no)
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 never make a promise (Oh, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no) that I can’t keep
That ain’t me

You told me what you wanted (You told me), I gave you what you need (I gave you)
I told you that (I told you, baby, baby, baby, baby) I’d love you, make it good for you and me
I never make a promise (You gotta believe me) that I can’t keep (You gotta believe me)
That ain’t me (Yes, you do)

You told me what you wanted (You told me), I gave you what you need (I gave you)
I told you that (I told you, Oh, yes, I did) I’d love you, make it good for you and me
I never make a promise that I can’t keep
