you are going to listen to what I have to say
no, no, don't get down and pray.
I promise I'm not going to be rude
and I am definitely not getting nude
I'm here to pledge my love to you
that is really the only thing I think I have to do
1.
first things first
just wait until I burst
You are 2 years older than me
that is not so hard for me to see
what is bugging me more
is the fact that you are already offshore
that means that you are finishing your study in not that much time
and what that does to me is leaving me with a grime
but I have learned to accept
and that is a promise that will be kept
2.
second is the way we met
remember, you threw me in a whole lot of dept
the second night we went together
but you went home with another feather
you know, that hurts me more than anything else
I remember thinking "this smells"
although I was not your first choice
I know for a fact that I probably would make the loudest noise
You were hoping that I would leave
not knowing of all the love you were to receive
but I have learned to accept
and that is a promise that will be kept
3.
third are the other boys you were with
every time we talk about them you speak as if they were a myth
you made it clear to me
that they helped to make you as you are now to be
I had a very difficult time with this, probably more than you'll ever know
I was as tensed as the string of a bow
It's very hard for me to hear
that they are part of your "loving-career"
but I have learned to accept
and that is a promise that will be kept
4.
fourth is the way you left me to go abroad
that felt like a judge sentenced me in court
as if he punished me for a crime I did not commit
but then again: who am I to forbid..
for the second time around you went along
and there was not much for me to say but "so long"
It is still difficult to live my life without you
not knowing where to go or what to do
but I have learned to accept
and that is a promise that will be kept
5.
fifth is where the pledging begins
you know I am also not without any sins
so who am I to judge
I just wish I would not think so much
Some times I am just too blind to see
that you are the best thing that ever happened to me
my love for you is just gigantic
some people may even call it frantic
tears are rolling right now
I know the only thing I can do is bow
as I ask you for forgiveness
there has to come an end to all this foolishness
I have learned to accept
and that is a promise that will be kept
