Hey, hey
Oh-woah
Hey, yeah, mmh
Oh-woah
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
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
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)
