Promise Ain't Enough Lyrics - Hall & Oates

Don't wanna open your heart 

You're afraid from the start 

That a new love's gonna let you down 

There is something you should know 

Before you give up and go 

I don't believe in the run around 

I just want to define myself 

And show you how I feel 

If a promise ain't enough 

Then a touch says everything 

Got to hold you in my arms 

Till you feel what I mean 

Know that my heart just tells me what to say 

But words can only prove so much 

If a promise ain't enough 

Hold onto my love 

Though my words can't describe 

How I'm feeling all inside 

Does my touch says anything to you? 

I'm not afraid to take time 

'Cause I'll know you'll find 

That I'm real and my touch is true 

It's taken a lifetime to find my heart 

And I give it all you 

If a promise ain't enough 

Then a touch says everything 

Got to hold you in my arms 

Till you feel what I mean 

Know that my heart just tells me what to say 

But words can only prove so much 

If a promise ain't enough 

Hold onto my love 

If a promise ain't enough 

Then a touch says everything 

Got to hold you in my arms 

Till you feel what I mean 

Know that my heart just tells me what to say 

But words can only prove so much 

If a promise ain't enough 

Hold onto my love 

It took a lifetime to find what I want 

I won't let it get away 

If a promise ain't enough 

Then a touch says everything 

Got to hold you in my arms 

Till you feel what I mean 

Know that my heart just tells me what to say 

But words can only prove so much 

If a promise ain't enough 

Hold onto my love 

If a promise ain't enough 

Then a touch says everything 

Got to hold you in my arms 

Till you feel what I mean 

Know that my heart just tells me what to say 

But words can only prove so much 

If a promise ain't enough 

Hold onto my love
