Cheap perfume and painted faces

Fallin' angels fill the places

Where I go when my troubles pull me down

All the lies I know they'll tell me

For awhile I'll be the biggest man in town



Back at home in bed she's cryin'

For her love for me is dyin'

But she'll pray I make it safely through the night

When the mornin' sun starts showin'

To her bedside I'll be goin'

And she'll hold me while I face the mornin' light



And I'll make promises

Promises to change

I'll make her promises

Swear I'll rearrange

And I'll start givin'

All the love she needs

If only she will stay



Once again she'll reassure me

And I believe her love will cure me

And I'll fall aleep with tears on my face

And I know she's just a woman

And her love can't last forever

And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace



For broken promises

Will tear her dreams apart

Just token promises

Will someday break her heart

And for the last time

She'll hold me when I cry

And while I'm sleepin'

She'll quietly say goodbye
