Don't Make Promises

(R. Newman)

Seems the songs we're singing

All about tomorrow,

Tunes of promises that you can't keep.

Every moment bringing

Love I can only borrow,

Telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware

Of what you're saying

Or why you're saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where

You want me staying? No.

Don't go on betraying.

We had a chance to find it,

The time was now or never,

Promise the things that I need.

Left the things behind it,

Threw our chance away forever

Telling your lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware

Of what you're saying

Or why you're saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where

You want me staying? No, no.

Don't go on betraying.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Tired of hearing 'em.

Tired of hearing 'em.
