I Can Promise You That

from Washing Day by Adam Levy

/

lyrics

A promise is a deal that lovers make
It’s sealed with spit and sweat and a secret handshake
Don’t need a witness or a dotted line

This is my last payphone call
I can promise you that
With a pocket full of coins
Yeah, we both got that routine down pat
I’m gonna ring you up at home
Whenever I feel it
Let’s spend some time just talking
Why should we have to steal it
This is my last payphone call
I can promise you that

I won’t sneak through your back door anymore
I can promise you that
‘Cause I got my pride, you know
I wanna step across the welcome mat
Yeah, I’m gonna walk tall
When I come around
No more tip-toe up the stairs
Without a sound
I won’t sneak through your back door anymore
I can promise you that

I won’t keep my hands to myself
I can promise you that
Gonna feel my way around
Get to know what I been looking at
‘Cause touch is the sense
That we’ve been m
And I won’t stop there
No, I won’t stop at kissing
When you take my love at last
I can promise you that

This is my last payphone call
This is my last payphone call
This is my last payphone call
I can promise you that
