I won't run away no more, I promise,
even when I get bored, I promise,
even when you lock me out, I promise,
I say my prayers every night, I promise.
I don't wish that I'm strict, I promise,
the tantrums and the chilling chats, I promise,
even when the ship is wrecked, I promise,
tie me to the rotten desk, I promise.
I won't fool around no more, I promise,
even when I get bored, I promise,
even when you lock me out, I promise,
I say my prayers every night, I promise.
I won't run away no more, I promise.
