Sniff 'N' The Tears - For What They Promise lyrics

Suzy Q was Johnny's girl and they were happy Johnny knew to build a life he needed money they started out with high ideals and hopes of conquest then he found the doors closed in his face the broken promise And if you want to get away don't wait - for what they promise Jossianne was sweet and young and late for her appointments she learned her lessons much too fast to understand them then she found that she could never be forgiven for moving out of the light of love into the forbidden And if you want to get away don't wait - for what you're given Shadows in a fading light start to surround you and the radio plays Maybelline just to confound you the night is young and full of hope the lines are crossing and Suzie Q and Johnny wait for what they're promised And if you want to get away don't wait - for what they promise
