You promised you would be true to me
But we both know you could never be
You've been puttin' me 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 wedding 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
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
