Thursday Night Music #14: Music We Like

This week, we go from the 2000s back to the 1980s for one of the best pop songs of the era, performed by When in Rome.

The song,"The Promise" was given new life in 2004 with its appearance in the hit move "Napoleon Dynamite". Enjoy and, as always, catch the lyrics below:



If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And 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. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, 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.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tellyaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (Ipromise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (Ipromise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will...
