[verse]
Everything he does, better than anything ordinary
Everything he wants he gets, cause everything he does is kinda necessary
I believe in love, tell me can anything last forever
Life can live up to love, I feel your hand on my heart I'm never saying never.
[chorus]
You�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade, (fade)
You�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade.
[verse]
Maybe next time I'll take a ride on by,
I wanna feel you near
'Cause I can�t play this like I�m into now,
My Aladdin's lamp is down, and I got a fear, oh baby right here
I'm giving up just looking into windows, yeah
I�ve had enough of wishing I�ve found you, baby don�t you know
I�ve had as much as I can take of falling, yeah
Got a lot to learn 'bout riding through.
'Cause you�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade, (fade)
You�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade.
Here I am, a walking Primrose, wond'ring when I�m gonna see you again
So here I am, a walking Primrose, wond'ring when I�m gonna see you again
I got my hands all ready to touch your soul,
I�m gonna get the energy to wire me close to you,
got my eyes on the prize I see.
Are you watching me baby?
'Cause my heart is turning to solid gold,
and my head is saying honey it's too good to be true,
Oh, one look in your glitter eyes,
How they're almost telling me every time
'Cause you�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade, (fade)
You�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade.
Maybe it�s not that hard to know you
Maybe we�ll make it up and go
Maybe we�ll work things out, there�s only one way up and one way down I know
If you wanna convince me to start again,
if you wanna be with me in my arms
[chorus] - key change (up semitone)
'Cause you�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade, (fade)
You�re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made, it's starting to fade, starting to fade.
