lyrics

PROMISES, PROMISES (Warner)

You said you would be my girl until the winter’s end
Then, if I didn’t take your hand, you’d take up with my friend
My boss is such a jerk, she docks my pay most every time
Says if I’m late again I’m on the unemployment line

Promises, promises, all I get are promises
But nothing ever comes of ‘em, ‘cause I’m still on the premises
Got your pacts and pledges
Don’t have no guarantee
Promises, promises, stop making ‘em to me

My doc says time to stop the Scotch, get off the Guinness too
Best give up the smokes, or else, the ghost by sixty-two
Someone’s knocking on my door and ringing my front bell
Says, if I don’t let Jesus in, I’m heading straight to hell

Promises, promises, all I get are promises
But nothing ever comes of ‘em, ‘cause I’m still on the premises
Got all your pacts and pledges
But got no guarantees
Promises, promises, stop making ‘em to me

The cops keep writing tickets, say they’re always tailing me
And if they spot my shitbox they’ll impound my Ford Capri
You said you’ll still love me till December twenty-four
But by the third of January, I’ll be out the door

Promises, promises, all I get are promises
But nothing ever comes of ‘em, ‘cause I’m still on the premises
Got your pacts and pledges
But got no guarantees
Promises, promises, stop making ‘em to me
