"Promises, Promises" Lyrics

(Wiley Smith - Carlyle Hughey)

You've promised you would be true to me
But we both know you could never be
You've been puttin' you on since the day we met
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get.

Then you promised me a ring, a weddin' gown and all of them things
But I ain't seen no diamond yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get
Promises, promises, that's all I get.

All you gave me since the day we met
You break my heart in two again I'll bet
But promises, promises, that's all I ever get
That's all I ever get.

--- Instrumental ---

And now you tell me you've gone away
You swear to me that this time you'll stay
But I can't believe that I'm rid of you yet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get.

Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You break my heart in two again I'll bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get.

Promises, promises, that's all I get
All you gave me since the day we met
You break my heart in two again I'll bet
Promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever get...
