You`ve promised you would be true to me but we both know you could never be
You`ve been puttin` me 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 wedding 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`ll break my heart in two again I bet
Promises promises that`s all I ever get that`s all I ever get
[ guitar - steel ]
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`ll break my heart in two again I 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...
