(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...
