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 getThen you promised me a ring
A weddin' gown and all of the 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 getAll you gave me since the day we met
You break my heart in two again I'll bet
But promises, promises, that's all I ever get, that's all I ever getAnd 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 getAll you gave me since the day we met
You break my heart in two again I'll bet
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
