(i'm promised to john
promised to john
can't you see that i'm promised to john)
I saw her on the square
and i fell in love right there
though i was told she was promised to john
i followed her in a store
and i loved her even more
though i knew she was promised to john
(i'm promised to john
promised to john
don't you know i'm promised to john
and his heart would surely break
if i made this mistake
can't you see that i'm promised to john)
I said let's take a walk
someplace where we can talk
yes i know that you're promised to john
it won't hurt anyone
we'll just have a little fun
cause i know that you're promised to john
we walked behind a tree
and she gave her lips to me
even though she was promised to john
and i guess she's with him now
she should be anyhow
cause she said she was promised to john
(i'm promised to john...
can't you see i'm promised to john don't you know i'm just promised to john)
