Ricky Nelson - Don't Make Promises lyrics

rate me

(T. Hardin)

It seems the songs we're singing are all about tomorrow

Tunes of promises you can't keep

Every moment bringing the love I can only borrow

Telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware of what you're sayin'

Or why you're sayin' it

Is it hard to keep me where you want me stayin'

Don't go on betrayin'

Don't make promises you can't keep.

We had a chance to find it

Our time was now or never

You promised me things

That I need

But then the things behind it

Took away the chance forever

You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware of what you're sayin'

Or why you're sayin' it

Is it hard to keep me where you want me stayin'

Don't go on betrayin'

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Don't make promises you can't keep...
