The Tennessee-born Whitney Duncan grew up listening to both the early rock ‘n’ roll of Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis as well as modern country icons such as Tanya Tucker and Shania Twain. Now that she’s embarked on her own career at the age of 22, she’s able to fuse these elements of classic, rhythm-based guitar music and contemporary country pop. She’s got a strength in her voice which makes a song like “When I Said I Would” sound like a defiant classic.
Lyrics for Whitney Duncan’s When I Said I Would
contributed by J & Ollie (thanks to you both! see comments)
The first time that I ever saw your face
I felt something had stopped me in my place
the kind of thing that you just can’t see
coming your way
I closed my eyes and I jumped right in
zero to sixty into the wind
with my head held high like it was
never gonna leave
and I trusted you
when you asked me to
when I said I would
tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart
without even blinking
that’s all you got?
well, baby that’s just no good
woah, woah
don’t give me that line
you know I won’t buy it
you’re as good at love
as you are at lying
you said uh-huh but I
just don’t think you understood
when I said I would
I stood by you, played by the rules
for a second I thought that you did too
makes me wonder how long you would have
let me be a fool
I gave it my best
this is what I get
when I said I would
tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart
without even blinking
that’s all you got?
well, baby that’s just no good
woah, woah
don’t give me that line
you know I won’t buy it
you’re as good at love
as you are at lying
you said uh-huh but I
just don’t think you understood
when I said I would
when I said I would
I’m taking back (when I said I would love you)
I’m taking back (every kiss that I gave you)
I’m taking back (every promise I made you)
I’m taking back everything I said
when I said I would
tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart
without even blinking
that’s all you got?
well, baby that’s just no good
woah, woah
don’t give me that line
you know I won’t buy it
you’re as good at love
as you are at lying
you said uh-huh but I
just don’t think you understood
when I said I would
when I said I would
woah, woah
don’t give me that line
you know I won’t buy it
you’re as good at love
as you are at lying
you said uh-huh but I
just don’t think you understood
when I said I would
when I said I would

Love this song. Here are some lyrics I jotted down while listening to the song for the 4th time today. Not sure if its the whole song and if all of the words are correct, but it should be most of it anyway. Enjoy!
“The first time that I ever saw your face
I felt something stop me in my place
The kinda thing that you just can’t see
Coming your way
I closed my eyes and I jumped right in.
Zero to sixty into the wind
With my head held high like it was never gonna leave
And I trusted you when you asked me to,
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart without even blinking
That’s all you got? Well baby that’s just no good.
Don’t give me that line, you know I won’t buy it.
You’re as good at love as you are at lying
You said uh-huh but I just don’t think you understand
When I said I would
I stood by you played by the rules,
for a second I thought that you did too.
Makes me wonder how long
you would have let me be a fool.
I gave it my best, this is what I get,
When I said I would, tell me what was I thinking?
I gave my heart without even blinking.
That’s all you got? Well baby that’s just no good.
Don’t give me that line, you know I won’t buy it.
You’re as good at love as you are at lying.
You said uh-huh but I just don’t think you understood,
When I said I would…”
