Lyrics Martha And The Vandellas – I Promise To Wait My Love

I promise to wait, my love, right here till you return
With a love that’s weak for you, 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

I promise to wait, my love, until you finally find
The love you’re sharing 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

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

I promise to wait, my love, right here till you return
With arms that want you, baby, and flames that forever burn
I cry for your tender love and 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…
