Promises - Maggie Reilly

Promises, your promises, a gift you gave to me

Lies and broken promises, oh why did I believe

Treated me so badly, treated me so cruel

How could you betray me, take me for a fool

Promises, your promises, oh vain and foolish me

You tricked me with your promises, so blind I could not see

How could you beguile me, when I needed you

Surely I have been deceived, when I thought you true

Always

Always

Promises, your promises, a trail of broken dreams

All your lies and promises were never what they seemed

Treated me so badly, treated me so cruel

How could you betray me, take me for a fool

Always

Always

Always

Always

Always

Always

Always — you broke my heart and threw away

Always — the love I gave you every day

Always — there’s nothing left that I can say

Always — look after number one

Always — you broke my heart and set me free

Always — oh how you lied and cheated me

Always — so now I know how things must be

Always — look after number one

Always — you broke my heart and threw away

Always — this love I gave you every day

Always — there’s nothing left for me to say

Always — look after number one
