Promise to Be True

[Intro]

Well, hello

It's about time you got home

No baby, don't try that tail waggin' routine on me

I want to know where you been

Now speak

That's right, get to talkin'

Or get to walkin'

Yeah, woo

Am I supposed to believe that?

Huh

[Verse 1]

Lipstick on your shirt, baby

And perfume in your bed

You bet on a new love, baby

And lost my love instead

If I take you back, you got to promise

[Chorus]

Promise to be true

(Yeah)

Promise to always be true

(You got to promise)

Promise to be true

(Oh yeah)

Promise to always be true

[Verse 2]

Phone numbers in your suit jacket

Too many nights with the boys

'Cause you're exactly like a spoiled little baby on Christmas

You wanted too many toys

Oh baby, so wrong but will you promise?

[Chorus]

Promise to be true

(Oh, oh)

Promise to always be true

(You got to promise)

Promise to be true

Promise to always be true

(Listen to me now)

[Breakdown]

Woo, woo

Promise to be true

Oh

Do do do do

Say it, say it, say it!

C'mon, say it

Promise this time to be true

[Bridge]

C'mon, say it

Oh yeah, I'd be lost without your kiss

But if you mess up again

Honey, you ain't gon' have no lips to kiss with

Oh

[Verse 3]

I got plenty plenty lovin' for you, baby

But you got to rearrange

(Got to rearrange)

I can find it in my heart to forgive you, baby

Baby, can you really change?

(Yes I will)

[Chorus]

But you got to promise to be true

(You got to promise)

Promise to always be true

(Promise to be true)

Promise to be true

Promise to always be true

[Verse 4]

You know you got all my money

(You got my money, money)

I'll give it to you every time

(Woo, every time)

If you can't support me one more time again

(One more time)

You are still like that child on Christmas

[Chorus]

Promise to be true

Promise to always be true

(Promise to be true)

Promise to be true

Promise to always be true

(Promise to be)

(Do it)

Promise to be true

(You got to promise to be true)

Promise to always be true

(Do it)

Promise to be true

(You got to promise to be true)

Promise to always be true

(Yeah)

[Outro]

Baby, if I take you back

Baby, if I take you back, you got to promise

From the bottom of your stinky ol', crusty ol' no-good heart

You got to promise

To be true, true, true
