Bamboozled movie - Promises lyrics

rate me

Song by India<br /><br>

When I think about the turn my life has taken<br>

I know it's because of you, that I receive so many blessings<br>

I had a home but no privacy, I didn't know a thing about my legacy<br>

When I realized you were there for me, I called on your name and you came<br>

And you did, just what you said, for that I'll love you forever<br>

You kept, your word to me, for that I'll love you forever<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

A promise, is a promise in my eyes<br>

Can't say you're gonna just to compromise<br>

The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined <br>

A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way<br>

<br>

I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old<br>

Blessed with a mother who loved him so, she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own<br>

It wasn't easy for the two of them, but she knew she had to give him a chance<br>

At a better life, it was only right, so she worked and she prayed<br>

And she did, just what she say, for that he'll love her forever<br>

She kept her word to him, for that he'll love her forever<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

A promise is a promise, in my eyes<br>

Can't say you're gonna just to compromise<br>

The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined <br>

A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way<br>

A man's only as good as his word<br>

<br>

Instrumental break<br>

<br>

<br>

Her wedding day and she's thinking ¡®bout the way he won her affection<br>

She was so cynical about love ¡®cause she didn't want to be heart broken again<br>

He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so she<br>

Took a chance on him and she's glad she did because he came for real<br>

And he did, just what he said, for that she'll love him forever <br>

He kept his word to her, for that she'll love him forever<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

A promise is a promise, in my eyes<br>

Can't say you're gonna just to compromise<br>

The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined <br>

A promise is a promise you can't deny, there's no way<br>

No way, there ain't no way<br>

A man's only as good as his word<br>

<br>
