If I Promise
Redemption Plea: If I Promise, a Song of Love and Regret by Jerry Reed
Lyrics
If I got on my knees and come crawlin' to you little girl
If I humble myself and come pleading to you, my dear
Would you love me once again
Will you love me once more?
Cause I'll do anything to prove that I love you still
Because I am willing to do anything to demonstrate my enduring love for you
And that I'm sorry for the fool I've been
And express remorse for the foolish actions I've committed
Haven't slept in a month of Sundays and I know one day I'm a gonna lose my sanity
I have been sleepless for an extended period, indicating my distress
Can't stop dreamin' about you and life without you just don't mean a thing to me
My thoughts are consumed by you, and life without you seems meaningless
So if I promise to be a good boy and never hurt you anymore
So, if I commit to being well-behaved and never causing you pain again
Could things be like they were before
Could our relationship return to its previous state?
If I promise to be a good boy and be the way you want me to
If I assure to behave as you wish and meet your expectations
Could I still have a chance with you
Is there still a possibility for reconciliation?
Cause I don't know what made me fool enough to think
Because I am uncertain about what deluded me into thinking
That I could live without your love
That I could endure life without your love
I must have cried a million tears since our goodbye
I must have shed countless tears since our parting
Yes and misery fits me like a glove
Yes, and I am engulfed in misery as if it were tailored for me
So if I promise to be a good boy...
So, if I commit to being well-behaved...
