[Verse 1]
A million reasons why I could
But only one why I won’t
Cause the one who’d probably never know
Is the reason that I don’t
I can’t say that I’m not tempted
I’m just like any other man
But when I walk out of here alone woman
I hope you understand
[Chorus]
She’s standin’ on the promises
That she gave to me
So I’m standin’ on the promises
I promised her I’d keep
[Verse 2]
It’d be so easy for anyone
To justify the wrong
Fall right into your arms
And say to hell with being strong
But there’s one thing I know for sure
She’d never play this kind of game
And for her faith in out love
I’ll do her the same cause
[Chorus x2]
