Skeeter Davis - Promises Promises lyrics

rate me

You've promised you would be true to me

But we both know you could never be

You've been puttin' you on since the day we met

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get

And then you promised me a ring a weddin' gown and all of them things

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're gone away you swear to me that this time you'll stay

I can't believe 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 you'll break my heart in two again I bet

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get

Promises promises that's all I get
