Hall & Oates - Promise Ain't Enough Lyrics
Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I just want to define myself
And show you how l feel
[Chorus:]
If a promise ain't enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
Hold onto my love
Though my words can't describe
How I'm feeling all inside
Does my touch say anything to you
I'm not afraid to take time
Cause I know you'll find
That I'm real and my touch is true
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all to you
[Chorus]
It took a lifetime to find what I want
I won't let it get away
[Chorus]

A soulful tune from Daryl and John from 21 years ago. They performed this on Rosie O'Donnell show on Channel 5 in Chicago . Young people should listen to this song from Daryl Hall & John Oates
Sometimes a Promise ain't enough if you can't be the one you love.
Probably my favorite song, by Hall & Oates. Smoother than silk, and with the characteristic H&O vocal harmonies that sound so sweet.
Best song in their catalog, to slow dance to.
FUCK,41. people
Who still listening in 2018 and beyond?
Demais!!!

Falling in love with them since i was young until now....143
One of Hall and Oats hidden gems that should have been a lot more popular and gotten a lot more air-time....a real classic love song!
+Richard Herrera I could not agree with you more! This is such a BEAUTIFUL song. I've been looking for it for a long time. It was played very little on the radio. Too bad! The world should have gotten to hear this much more than they did!
Richard Herrera still popular here in the Philippines to date.
Agree..this song is popular in the Philippines. One of their smooth jazz vibe song.
Darryl Hall & John Oats are so talented with so many hits, & this one is a favorite of mine. Beautiful💜💜
Ein sehr softer schöner Song. Das waren so die Balladen der zweiten Hälfte der 90er.
Daryl śpiewa jak anioł. I w ogóle cały jest jak anioł...
DANUTA HERMOZA BELLA LINDA DULZURA ESPECTACULAR.
DANUTA DE QUE PAIS ERES?
DANUTA ERES UNA BELLA MELODIA.
Perfect song.. Perfect voices Hall and Oates 4ever.. Best musical duo of all history!!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love this song forever....if a promise ain't enough hold on to my love .....
My late fiancee loved this, as did I. She got upset that "Throw The Roses Away" was about breaking up, but I tried to get through to her that it's about caring enough to waste one sweet day- real love, stronger than sentiment, caring for and wanting the best for your mate, no matter what.
magic song so beautiful from hall and oates, a promise ain't enough a touch says everything them words are so true huge fan of these guys.
"Promise Ain't Enough"
Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I don' believe in the run around
I just want to define myself
And show you how l feel
[Chorus:]
If a promise ain't enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise ain't enough
Hold onto my love
Though my words can't describe
How I'm feeling all inside
Does my touch say anything to you
I'm not afraid to take time
Cause I know you'll find
That I'm real and my touch is true
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all to you
[Chorus]
It took a lifetime to find what I want
I won't let it get away
[Chorus]
This song is really amazing😍
Thanks!

The definition of smooth soul. "Know that my heart just tells me what to say / But words can only prove so much/ If a promise ain't enough / Hold on to my love". Hall & Oates forever!
Norma Davis...This cd can be found on Amazon by different seller's used and new.
I have searched high and low for this album. Does anyone know where i can find it. i heard it is very difficult to find.
a touch says so much more than promises. hold on to my love. wow!!! This man can sing to me anytime, any place. love, love, love. What happened to music this fabulous?
These two guys are so underated. they are the best when it comes to love ballads. What can I say. Their music is simply beautiful. Anyone who is in love, falling in love, lost a love will relate to these lyrics. Awesome Daryl Hall. If I could find you I would marry you!!!!!!
