Promise to be true by Don Carlos

Post by airofjah »

IRIE! I would like someone to help me to correct and complete the lyrics of this song by Don Carlos. I know there is a version of this tune by The Heptones and I think that's the original. I'm not very sure. Well! The difference between each other is little.

Give me a love ... comes and goes
...just a love ...comes baby and goes, oh child!

and everything you do just promise to be true
... what I want you to do just promise to be true
I love you I love you so
darling I need you, please don't go

give me your heart that's pure and true
let me be ... when I say I love you so, oh child!

the original is by slim smith & The Uniques: Give Me A Love, again ther Don Carlos has slightly altered lyrics:

Give me a love that grows and grows
but not just a love that comes, baby, and goes, oh child!

in everything you do
just promise you'll be true
do what I want you to do
just promise you'll be true
I love you I love you so
darling I need you, please don't go

give me your heart that's pure and true
let me be safe when I say I love you so, oh child!
