Lyrics for Song: Promises, Promises
Lyrics for Album: What The World Needs Now: Burt Bacharach Classics [2008]
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!!
<instrumental interlude>
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!!
