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
