Kim about ‘True to You’
Kim: David James is someone I’ve written with for two years and this is the first time I’ve recorded one of our collaborations. Luckily for me, like Tony Swain, he only lives down the road. Dave has written for Michelle Gayle and Take That amongst others. He’s always very busy and loves the same kind of music I do.

Lyrics
I’ll be true
I won’t lie baby
Trust me when I say
You’re asking me where is it we go from here
The answer is open in my mind
Who knows where we’ll end our journey
Love is a lesson
We’re still just learning
But one thing you can be sure of is
I’ll be true
I won’t lie baby
I’ll never lie to you
I’ll be true
Trust me when I say
True to you
So many people make the same mistakes
Giving promises they can’t keep
And after their hearts are broken
With words they both wish had never been spoken
And lies that they pin their hope on but
I’ll be true
I won’t lie baby
I’ll never lie to you
I’ll be true
Trust me when I say
True to you
Love and honesty is what you’re gonna get from me
Every step of the way
You can trust me, when I say
I’ll be true
I won’t lie baby
I’ll never lie to you
I’ll be true
Trust me when I say
True to you
I won’t waste your time baby
