歌詞
Caron Nightingale I should have known all along (1)
There was something wrong
I just never read between the lines (2)
Then I woke up one day
And found you on your way (3)
Leaving nothing but my heart behind (4)
What can I do to make it up to you (5)
Promises don't come easy (6)
But tell me if there's a way
To bring you back home to stay
Well I'd promise anything to you (7)
I've been walkin' around (8)
With my head hanging down
Wonderin' what I'm gonna do (9)
'Cause when you walked out that door (10)
I knew I needed you more
Than to take a chance on losing you (11)
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
But tell me if there's a way
To bring you back home to stay
Well I'd promise anything to you
You never thought I loved you
I guess you never thought I cared
Well I was just too proud to say it out loud (12)
Now I know to let my feelings go (13)
(So tell me)
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
You know I've made up my mind
To make it work this time (14)
That's the promise I can give to you
What can I do to make it up to you

譯詞版本2
《不要輕言承諾》
我本應一直明白
我們之間出現了問題
我從來沒有體會出你的弦外之音
於是有一天我醒來
發現你已離去
只留下了我的心 我該如何補償你呢
承諾不是輕易作出的
告訴我是否有一種方法
可以讓你回到我身邊
那樣的話我願向你承諾一切 我四處遊蕩
腦袋低垂
不知如何是好
因為當你走出門去
我知道我需要你
而不願失去你
我該如何補償你呢
承諾不是輕易作出的
告訴我是否有一種方法
可以讓你回到我身邊
那么我願向你承諾一切 你過去從不覺得我愛你
你大概也覺得我不在乎吧
但我只不過是太矜持而無法大聲表白
現在我知道應該讓情感釋放
（告訴我）
我該如何補償你呢
承諾不是輕易做出的
我已下定決心
這次一定可以
這就是我可以給你的承諾
我該如何補償你呢
