No Promises - Shayne Ward

Lucas Sieber/Jonas Schröde

Hey baby when we are together

Doing things that we love

Every time your near I feel like I'm in heaven

Feeling high

I don't want to let go girl

I just need you to know girl

I don't wanna run away

Baby you're the one I need tonight

No promises

Baby now I need to hold you tight

I just wanna die in your arms

Hear tonight

Hey baby when we are together

Doing things that we love

Every time your near I feel like I'm in heaven

Feeling high

I don't want to let go girl

I just need you to know girl

I don't wanna run away

Baby you're the one I need tonight

No promises

Baby now I need to hold you tight

I just wanna die in your arms

I don't want to run away

I wanna stay forever eternity

No promises

I don't wanna run away

I don't wanna be alone

No promises

Baby now I need to hold you tight

Now and forever my love

No promises

I don't wanna run away

Baby you're the one I need tonight

No promises

Baby now I need to hold you tight

I just want to die in your arms here tonight

I don't wanna run away

Baby you're the one I need tonight

No promises

Baby now I need to hold you tight

I just wanna die in your arms

Here tonight
