(Wiley Smith - Carlyle Hughey)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

And now you tell me you're goin' 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
