Promises Promises Lyrics - Jan Howard

You've promised you would be true to me but we both know you could never be 

You've been puttin' you on since the day we met 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

Then you promised me a ring a weddin' gown and all of them things 

But 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'll bet 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

[ steel ] 

And now you tell me you've gone away you swear to me that this time you'll stay 

But I can't believe that 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... 

All you gave me since the day we met...
