"The Promise of Love" lyrics

"The Promise of Love"

Those precious moments I spent holding you
Come back to me so strong
The love we had's become a masquerade
It's not the same sweet song

Now I sit here at home
Waiting for you (to call me, to call me)
I feel so alone
What can I do?
Oh baby, baby

I lost my heart to the promise of love that you gave to me
I lost my way when you let me inside your life (ooh)
If one and one still make two
Why don't it work for me and you?
Why must I wait for your promise of love to come true?
Oh baby

I told myself that it would all work out
Before it all went wrong
The love you promised never came about
I waited far too long

Now I've been such a fool
Waiting for you (to love me, love me)
You broke every rule
What can I do?
Oh baby, baby

I lost my heart to the promise of love that you gave to me
I lost my way when you let me inside your life (ooh)
If one and one still make two
Why don't it work for me and you?
Why must I wait for your promise of love to come true?

I lost my heart to the promise of love that you gave to me
I lost my way when you let me inside your life
If one and one still make two
Why don't it work for me and you?
Why must I wait for your promise of love to come true?

You keep me waiting and waiting (Waiting)
Oh girl (Yes, I'm waiting)
And I still don't think that I'm gonna get your love, no
(Waiting, yes I'm waiting, waiting)
Oh baby (Yes I'm waiting)
Yes I'm waiting (Waiting, yes I'm waiting)
You're breaking my heart, girl (Waiting)
Oh yeah (Yes I'm waiting)
How long? (Waiting, yes I'm waiting)
Ohhh (Waiting, yes I'm waiting)
Listen, baby (Waiting)
Don't you know you're breaking my heart?
