Don't want to open your heart... you're afraid from the start,
That a new love's gonna let you down,
There was something you should know... before you give up and go,
I don't believe in a run-around.
I just wanted to find myself and show you how I feel.
Chorus:
If a promise ain't enough... then a touch says everything,
Wanna hold you in my arms... do you feel what I mean.
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain't enough... hold on to my love. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hall_oates/a_promise_aint_enough.html ]
Though my words can't describe how I'm feelin' all inside,
Does my touch say anything to you,
I'm not afraid to take time... 'cause I know you'll find,
That I'm real and my touch is true,
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart and I'd give it all to you.
Chorus:
If a promise ain't enough... then a touch says everything,
Wanna hold you in my arms... do you feel what I mean,
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain't enough... hold on to my love.
Oh, it's taken a lifetime to find what I want... I won't let it slip away.
Chorus:
If a promise ain't enough... then a touch says everything,
Gotta hold you in my arms... do you feel what I mean,
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain't enough... hold on to my love,
If a promise ain't enough... Hold on!
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love,
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love...
(Repeat and fade)
