DONT MAKE ME GIVE MY WORD Everytime I see you I smile, even when I've been feeling down And now that you've been seeing me awhile I know that you want to know if I'm gonna be around when you really need me Honey, it'd be easy to say so, but the truth is I don't know Don't make me give my word 'Cause promises are hard to keep Don't make me give my word 'Cause even though I love you I have to be true to me And you don't want a liar And I don't want to be one So don't make me give my word Just like we talked about before, we both have things we were born to do It's not like I'm heading for the door I know we both can fly so I won't ground you with a selfish lie 'Bout all I need is you ... you wouldn't want that to be true Don't make me give my word 'Cause promises are hard to keep Don't make me give my word 'Cause even though I love you I have to be true to me And you don't want a liar And I don't want to be one So don't make me give my word I can understand you needing to know where you stand Just take my hand and look into my eyes and know No matter where you are someone cares for you As you are So even if you need more than this, let's both be glad we still have the truth I want you to follow your bliss I hope you feel the same so let's not play Like love's a game that can be won
