Promises, Promises Lyrics

Burt Bacharach
Make It Easy On Yourself
Promises, Promises
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
[ Burt Bacharach Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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!!
