Are You Gonna Keep Your Word? Songtext
von Guardian

"Sometimes it gets so thick in here," she said
Clearin′ the plates from another power lunch
Then she laughed at herself and told me what was good

No ring, no coy disguise, but a world-weary innocence in her eyes
Said, "Every false move you make will be withstood"

Lies like rust, decay
Is your heart that way?
Vows like prayers are heard
Are you gonna keep your word?
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na

When in time, I pledged heart and soul
She said, "Love is patient
But you must know that feelings come and go
Like these sainted patrons"

Lies like rust, decay
Is your heart that way?
And good intentions are no guarantee
Just look at me
Are you gonna keep your word?


When the siege begins
When the thieves break in
Will you stand your ground?
And when you fight the wars
On foreign soil
Will I rest assured?
Are you gonna keep your word?

And as we watch our children sleep
I take her hand, I feel her ring
I have been faithful
But I know my heart is not above deceit

Lies like rust, decay
Is my heart that way?
Vows like prayers are heard
Will I keep my word?

Lies, little lies come back to haunt you
Like petty fraud
Vows are made forever before God
And I will always keep my word to you
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na...
