Martha Reeves & The Vandellas — I Promise to Wait My Love

[Verse 1] I promise to wait, my love, right here 'til you return With a love that's weak and a heart that sadly yearns Yearns because you've left me all alone and blue And to another I know I can't be true I know that you'll come back home But hurry up, don't take so long 'Cause I love you, need you Even though you've done me wrong [Chorus 1] I promise to wait, my love, until you finally find The love you're sharin' now is not as real as mine Her love is like a diamond only worth a dime But my love for you is strictly genuine I know that you'll come back home But hurry up, don't take so long 'Cause I love you, need you Even though you've done me wrong [Verse 2] How I miss you; I long to hear you call my name And since you've been gone, baby You don't think this ain't been the same, no [Chorus 2] I promise to wait, my love, right here till you return With arms that want you, baby, & flames that forever burn I cry for your tender love & ever-lovin' kiss And your tight embrace is what I really miss I know that you'll come back home But hurry up, don't take so long 'Cause I love you, need you Even though you've done me wrong Gonna stay right here, my love; ain't goin' away Gonna wait for you, baby
