Promises, promises

Promises, promises



Yesterday I was sure life was just like a dream

But it just goes to show

(Love has no guarantee)

All along they could see

That you were laughing at me

I was blind to the truth

(Now you're down on your knees)



Shouldn't be running

I know it sounds funny

I was such a fool

Cause I couldn't see it coming



Just a hand full of promises

You gave me

A pocketfull of dreams

That just won't do

How can I go on

With nothing to live on

But a hadfull of promises



Promises, promises (You gave me)Promises, promises (You gave me)



Well you cheat, and you lie

And you hurt me this way

Gave my heart, didn't I?

(But you gave it in vain)

Such a fool to believe

You'd take me seriously

Didn't I treat you right

(But how wrong can you be)



Shouldn't be running

I know it sounds funny

All that I'm left with

Is a whole lot of nothing



Just a hand full of promises

You gave me

A pocketfull of dreams

That just won't do

How can I go on

With nothing to live on

But a hadfull of promises



Promises, promises (You gave me)Promises, promises (You gave me)



P-p-promises, p-p-promises

P-p-promises, p-p-promises

(But how wrong can you be)



Shouldn't be running

I know it sounds funny

I was such a fool

Cause I couldn't see it coming



Just a hand full of promises

You gave me

A pocketfull of dreams

That just won't do

How can I go on

With nothing to live on

But a hadfull of promises (Promises, promises)





Just a hand full of promises

You gave me

A pocketfull of dreams-
