promises promises

Skeeter Davis

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
