[Chorus: All]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go?
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise

[Verse 1: Brandon]
Said I know that things just ain't been right
Forever's such a very long time
We never even had a fight
Don't let no one change your mind
'Cause they don't know how much I care
They don't know the things we share unless they're here, babe
But since they're not
How can they say that I'm not true?
Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus: All & Brian]
If you need a love, I got the love that you need (Said I got the love)
Ain't no way they can take that from me (They can't take that from me)
And I pray to God that one day they will see
They'll see that I'm all that you need
Oh, oh, oh, woah

[Chorus: All]
Nothing is promised to me and you (Oh, woah, oh)
So why will we let this thing go? (Oh, baby)
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true (I'll stay true)
Don't let nobody say it ain't so (Don't let nobody say it ain't so)
And, baby, I promise
That I will never leave
And everything will be alright (Alright)
I, I promise these things to you
Girl, just believe
I promise

[Verse 2: Brian]
When I think of all the times I said
That I will see you another day
Baby, nothing's gonna change, yes, it is
Said you mean the world to me
And, baby girl, I'll keep you first, yeah
'Cause that's the kind of love you deserve
And you know I got a love if you need a love, yeah (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: All & Brandon]
If you need a love, I got the love that you need (Oh, yeah)
Ain't no way they can take that from me (Ain't no way I'm gonna let them take it)
And I pray to God that one day they will see
And I swear to you, you 'cause I promise, oh, girl (Oh)

[Chorus: All]
Nothing is promised to me and you
So why will we let this thing go? (Woah, yeah)
Baby, I promise that I'll stay true
Don't let nobody say it ain't so
And, baby, I promise (Yeah)
That I will never leave (I will never leave you)
And everything will be alright (Girl, it's gonna be alright)
I, I promise these things to you (Yeah)
Girl, just believe (Girl, believe in me)
I promise

[Outro: All]
You're the only I want in my life ('Cause you're the only one I want in my life)
And I promise everything is alright, girl (Promise everything will be alright, yeah)
You're the only I want in my life
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby (And, baby, I need you, yeah)
You're the only I want in my life (I love you)
And I promise everything is alright, girl (And, oh, babe)
You're the only I want in my life (Woah, yeah)
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby (Yeah)
You're the only I want in my life (Yeah)
And I promise everything is alright, girl (Yeah)
You're the only I want in my life (And, baby, you)
I promise, promise, promise, promise you, baby
You're the only I want in my life

[Intro: Jermaine Dupri]
Girl, listen
When I be sittin' at home all by myself now, huh
I be sayin', "Damn, I had a good girl"
You know?
You don't even realize how hard it is
To find somebody like you 'til they gone
You know what I mean?
If you'll let me just come back in your life
I-I'll never do it again, I promise

[Verse 1: Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri]
Down at the studio tryna make tracks
Girl, at home all over my back
Every time I say that's what I'm doing
She just thinks it's an excuse (Uh)
'Cause I'm out tryna get some new snatch (Uh-huh)
Now I realize that I don't work too hard (Uh)
To keep in here in my life, I've done came to far (Ha)
For me to turn around, girl (Yeah)
Ain't none of that **** going down, girl (Nah)
So, believe me when I say (Believe me)

[Pre-Chorus: Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri]
Girl, you know you're the only one in my life (Oh)
I know I've been wrong, but I'm tryna live right (Live right)
I'll give my life if it makes it right
I promise, girl, I promise, promise

[Chorus: Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri]
I promise, I'ma stay out of these streets (Yeah)
I promise, wasn't when you heard it wasn't me
I promise, to be the N-I-G
Go at it alone, you can get at me (At me, babe)
I promise, that wasn't even my heat (Oh)
I promise, you ain't gotta worry about me no more, no more (Yeah, oh, uh-huh, huh)
Girl, just believe, promise

[Interlude: Jermaine Dupri]
I promise, baby, I'ma be the best man
I don't even know how to be
I promise no more Monday nights at the gentleman's club
It's all about you

[Verse 2: Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri]
Believe I really meant it when I said I left that (Haha, yeah)
See us in the streets and I'm not about that (Yeah)
Said that I'ma be there, ain't no maybe
You gon' see that I'ma be there
Whenever just 'cause you're my lady (Haha)
I'ma show you just what you deserve (For sure)
Tell you you ain't waitin' no more for your turn (Nah)
You say you want a rider
And I can be that and much more, like your provider
And I want you to know I love you, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri]

I promise you that (Yeah), promise you that
Whatever you want
Long as I got it, ain't no problem with that (Oh)
You my ebony queen, everythin' player ever could dream (Uh-uh, oh)
Give you the world and everythin' in between
Now you wanted honesty, monogamy
The way that you honor me (Oh)
Ain't no other way it's gotta be (Uh-huh)
I couldn't see you with another man rollin' in sand
Strollin' through the park in the dark, holdin' his hand
Me and you versus the world was only the plan (Uh-huh)
I know it get rough, but I'm doin' all that I can (Oh, yeah)
Now to the world, I'm just Loon from Harlem (Uh-huh)
If I had a choice, girl, I'd rather lose the stardom (Yeah)
Than to ever lose you, I promise I would never use you (Uh-huh, yeah)
This not a game, girl, I promise (Come on)
