Lyrics
PROMISES PROMISES
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
SO MANY PROMISES JUST DON?T UNDERSTAND IT.
YOU PROMISES TO DO THIS OR WE?LL DO THAT.
SO MANY PROMISES YOU BORE ME TO SLEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
YOU SAID YOU?LD BE HERE BY 8:00.
BY 9:00 IT HAD GOTTEN LATE.
YOU CALLED ME AT 10:00 OCLOCK THE NEXT DAY
BY THEN I WAS HOT.
YOU TOLD ME YOU?LD BUY ME THOSE SHOES,
THEN CAME HOME SINGING THE BLUES.
SAID YOU?D WENT TO THE TABLES, LOST ALL YOUR MONEY.
GOT READY FOR BED, THEN WANTED THE HONEY.
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
SO MANY PROMISES JUST DON?T UNDERSTAND IT.
YOU PROMISES TO DO THIS OR WE?LL DO THAT.
SO MANY PROMISES YOU BORE ME TO SLEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
REMEMBER THE TRIP WE WERE TO TAKE IN THE SPRING.
I GOT EXCITED YOU DIDN?T REMEMBER A THING.
JUST THE OTHER DAY I CALLED YOU ON THE PHONE ASKED
YOU TO COME HOME, CAUSE I WAS ALL ALONE.
YOU SAID YOU?LD BE ON YOUR WAY.
THEN SAID YOU HAD ONE STOP TO MAKE.
I GUESS YOU GOT LOST CAUSE I DID?T SEE YOU
FOR A WHOLE THREE (3) DAYS.
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
SO MANY PROMISES JUST DON?T UNDERSTAND IT.
YOU PROMISES TO DO THIS OR WE?LL DO THAT.
SO MANY PROMISES YOU BORE ME TO SLEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME GUESS ABOUT WHERE I STAND.
KEEP MAKING THOSE PROMISES AGAIN AND AGAIN.
I?M TIRED OF THOSE EXCUSES.
I?LL MAKE MY OWN PLANS.
CAUSE I CAN SPEND MY TIME WITH SOME OTHER MAN.
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
SO MANY PROMISES JUST DON?T UNDERSTAND IT.
YOU PROMISES TO DO THIS OR WE?LL DO THAT.
SO MANY PROMISES YOU BORE ME TO SLEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
DON?T MAKE ME A PROMISE IF ITS ONE YOU CAN?T KEEP.
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES,
