Promises Promises Songtext
von Burt Bacharach

Promises, promises
I′m all through with promises
Promises now
I don't know how
I got the nerve to walk out

If I shout
Remember, I feel free
Now, I can look at myself
And be proud
I′m laughing out loud

Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises
Promises end

I don't pretend
That what was wrong
Can be right


Every night I sleep now
No more lies
Things that I promised myself
Fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises
Their kind of promises
Can just destroy a life

Oh, promises
Those kind of promises
Take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can lead to joy
And hope and love
Yes, love!

Every night I sleep now
No more lies
Things that I promised myself
Fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises
Their kind of promises
Can just destroy a life


Oh, promises
Those kind of promises
Take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can lead to joy
And hope and love
Yes, love!
