Promises, promises
Promises, promises
Yesterday I was sure life was just like a dream
But it just goes to show (Love has no guarantee)
All along they could see that you were laughing at me
I was blind to the truth (Now you're down on your knees)
Shouldn't be running
I know it sounds funny
I was such a fool
'Cause I couldn't see it coming
Just a hand full of promises
You gave me a pocketfull of dreams
That just won't do
How can I go on with nothing to live on
But a handfull of promises
Promises, promises (You gave me)
Promises, promises (You gave me)
Well, you cheat and you lie and you hurt me this way
Gave my heart, didn't I? (But you gave it in vain)
Such a fool to believe you'd take me seriously
Didn't I treat you right (But how wrong can you be)
Shouldn't be running
I know it sounds funny
I was such a fool
'Cause I couldn't see it coming
Just a hand full of promises
You gave me a pocketfull of dreams
That just won't do
How can I go on with nothing to live on
But a handfull of promises
Promises, promises (You gave me)
Promises, promises (You gave me)
P-p-promises, p-p-promises
P-p-promises, p-p-promises
(But how wrong can you be)
Shouldn't be running
I know it sounds funny
I was such a fool
'Cause I couldn't see it coming
Just a hand full of promises
You gave me a pocketfull of dreams
That just won't do
How can I go on with nothing to live on
But a handfull of promises (Promises, promises)
Just a hand full of promises
You gave me a pocketfull of dreams
