I’m not giving up so you’re out of luck, cuz I’m a real good shot
You say I’ve been on your mind, well you’ve been holding up mine since ‘75
If you’re not sure about this, should not have been so damn certain on Sunday night
This is a big deal, but honey it’s the real deal so get wise

Cuz you made me a promise back in high school
And I’m holding you to it, cuz you asked me to
And I don’t know where she came from or when or why
But you were always mine, you were always mine

And when you kiss me now it brings me back to them younger days
Before the death of your father and the change in my mother and that yellow haze
And I can barely remember what that fight was about
But I feel better than I have in forever when you hold me now

Cuz you made me a promise back in high school
And I’m holding you to it, cuz you asked me to
And I don’t know where she came from or when or why
But you were always mine, you were always mine

So tell your wife that you love her, but she’s known it’s been over for way too long
Tell your kids it’s gonna be ok
Tell me I’m not hell-bent on evil and doin’ everybody wrong
I just wanna love you for real, you gotta know how I feel, you gotta wanna stay

Cuz you made me a promise back in high school
And I’m holding you to it, cuz you asked me to
And I don’t know where she came from or when or why
But you were always mine, you were always mine
