Daryl Hall & John Oates - Promise Ain't Enough lyrics

Don't wanna open your heart

You're afraid from the start

That a new love's gonna let you down

There is something you should know

Before you give up and go

I don' believe in the run around

I just want to define myself

And show you how l feel

[Chorus:]

If a promise ain't enough

Then a touch says everything

Got to hold you in my arms

Till you feel what I mean

Know that my heart just teIls me what to say

But words can only prove so much

If a promise ain't enough

Hold onto my love

Though my words can't describe

How I'm feeling all inside

Does my touch say anything to you

L'm not afraid to take time

Cause I know you'lI find

That l'm real and my touch is true

It's taken a lifetime to find my heart

And I give it all to you

[Chorus]

It took a lifetime to find what I want

I won't let it get away

[Chorus]
