If you need a friend, don't look to a 
    stranger,
    You know in the end, I'll always be there.
    But when you're in doubt, and when you're 
    in danger,
    Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
    
    I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
    I know they don't sound the way I planned 
    them to be.
    But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll 
    make you fall for me,
    I promise you, I promise you I will.
    
    When your day is through, and so is your temper,
    You know what to do, I'm gonna always 
    be there.
    Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's 
    intended.
    These words just come out, with no gripe 
    to bear.
    
    Refrain 1:
    I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
    I know they don't sound the way I planned 
    them to be.
    But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll 
    make you fall for me,
    I promise you, I promise you...
    
    Refrain 2:
    I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
    I know they don't sound the way I planned 
    them to be.
    And if I had to walk the world, I'd make 
    you fall for me,
    I promise you, I promise you I will.
    
    I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you...
    
    (refrain 1)
    
    (refrain 2)
    I will. I will.
