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
