Hey, hey
Oh-woah
ย
Hey, yeah, mmh
Oh-woah
ย
Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna let you down, mmh
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I don't believe in the run around, oh, no
I just wanna define myself
And show you how I feel
If a promise ain't enough (if a promise ain't enough)
Then a touch says everything, oh (touch says everything, everything)
Gotta hold you in my arms, yeah (hold you in my arms, oh)
'Til you feel what I mean, yeah (there's so much more than promises)
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise ain't enough, oh (if a promise ain't enough)
Hold on to my love, mmh
ย
Though my words can't describe
How I'm feeling all inside
Does my touch say anything to you? Does it?
I'm not afraid to take time
'Cause I know you'll find
That I'm real, and my touch is true, oh, yeah
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all you
If a promise ain't enough, oh (if a promise ain't enough)
Then a touch says everything, oh (touch says everything, everything)
Gotta hold you in my arms, yeah (hold you in my arms, oh)
'Til you feel what I mean, 'til you feel it (there's so much more than promises)
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise ain't enough, oh (if a promise ain't enough)
Hold on to my love, yeah
Oh-oh-oh
Yeah, mmh
Oh, took a lifetime to find what I want
I won't let it get away
If a promise ain't enough (if a promise ain't enough)
Then a touch says everything, oh (touch says everything, everything)
Gotta hold you in my arms, yeah (hold you in my arms, oh)
'Til you feel what I mean, yeah (there's so much more than promises)
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove, prove so much
If a promise ain't enough, oh (if a promise ain't enough)
Hold on to my love, mmh
Yeah, if a promise ain't enough
Hold on
ย
If a promise ain't enough (promises, promises, promises)
Hold on to my love (hold on, hold-hold on)
And giving you promises, oh, baby (promises, promises, promises)
Hold on to my love, oh (hold on, hold-hold on)
Believe what I do, girl, don't listen what I say (promises, promises, promises)
But hold on, mmh (hold on, hold-hold on)
When I say my heart is true, my heart is true (promises, promises, promises)
You gotta hold on, but hold on (hold on, hold-hold on)
You gotta believe what I do, believe me, girl (promises, promises, promises)
But hold on (hold on, hold-hold on)
Hold on to my love (promises, promises, promises)
Gotta hold on (hold on, hold-hold on)
