Don't Make Promises Songtext
von Gary Puckett & the Union Gap

It seems the songs we′re singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises you can't keep
Every moment bringing
A love I can only have borrow
You′re telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you′re saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don′t go on betraying it

Don't make promises you can′t keep (don't make promises you can′t keep)


We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
But then all the things behind it
Took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I′m not aware
Of what you are saying
Or why you're saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying it

Don′t, no, no
Don′t make promises you can't keep (don′t make promises you can't keep)
Don′t make promises you can't keep (don′t make promises you can't keep)
Hey, no, don't make promises you can′t keep (don′t make promises you can't keep)
Don′t you ever make those promises you can't keep (don′t make promises you can't keep)
No, no, don′t make promises
