You’ve promised you would be true to me but we both know you could never be
You’ve been a 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 weddin’ gown and all 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 ]
And now you tell me you’ve gone away you swear to me that this time you’ll stay
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…
All you gave me since the day we met…
