EN

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 Then you promised me a ring a weddin' gown and all of 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'll bet Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get [ steel ] And now you tell me you've gone away you swear to me that this time you'll stay But 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...
