Текст песни Promise To Be True (2020 Remaster) - Prince

Well, hello
It's 'bout time you got home
No, baby, don't try that tail waggin' routine on me
I want to know where you been
Now speak
That's right, get to talkin'
Or get to walkin', yeah
Am I supposed to believe that?

Lipstick on your shirt, baby
And perfume in your bed
You bet on a new love, baby
You lost my love instead
If I take you back you got to promise

Promise to be true (yeah)
Promise to always be true (you got to promise)
Promise to be true (promise to be true)
Promise to always be true

Phone numbers in your suit jacket
Too many nights with the boys
'Cause you're exactly like a spoiled little baby on Christmas
You wanted too many toys
Oh, baby, so wrong but will you promise?

Promise to be true (oh, oh)
Promise to always be true (you got to promise)
Promise to be true (promise to be true)
Promise to always be true (listen to me now)

Promise to be true

Say it, say it, say it

Come on, say it
Promise this time to be true
Come on, say it
Oh yeah, I'd be lost without your kiss
But if you mess up again
Honey, you ain't gon' have no lips to kiss with

I got plenty, plenty lovin' for you, baby
But you got to rearrange (you got to rearrange)
I can find it in my heart to forgive you, baby
Baby, can you really change? (yes, I will)

But you got to promise to be true (you got to promise)
Promise to always be true (promise to be true)
Promise to be true (promise to be true)
Promise to always be true (baby, baby, baby. baby)

You know you got all my money (you got my money, money)
I'll give it to you every time (every time)
If you can't support me one more time again (one more time)
You are still like that child on Christmas

Promise to be true
Promise to always be true (promise to be true)
Promise to be true (promise to be true)
Promise to always be true (promise to be, do it)

Promise to be true (you got to promise to be true)
Promise to always be true (do it, do it)
Promise to be true (you got to promise to be true)
Promise to always be true

Baby, if I take you back
Baby, if I take you back, you got to promise (you've got to)
From the bottom of your stinky ol', crusty ol' no-good heart
You got to promise
To be true, true, true
