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