BURT BACHARACH - Promises, Promises lyrics

rate me

Promises, promises

I'm all through with promises, promises now

I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out

If I shout, remember I feel free

Now I can look at myself and be proud

I'm laughing out loud

Oh, promises, promises

This is where those promises, promises end

I don't pretend that what was wrong can be right

Every night I sleep now, no more lies

Things that I promised myself fell apart

But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life

Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises

Can lead to joy and hope and love

Yes, love!!

<instrumental interlude>

Every night I sleep now, no more lies

Things that I promised myself fell apart

But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises can just destroy a life

Oh, promises, those kind of promises take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises

Can lead to joy and hope and love

Yes, love!!
