On A Promise

(album: Fine Young Cannibals - 1985)

When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna make a fresh start
Gonna do good things
Really play my part

When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna do it all
I feel so strong, I feel so tall
When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna do it all
I feel so strong, I feel so tall

You got it on a promise
You got it on a promise
Honest, honest, honest
You got it on a promise

You better change your foolish ways
There's plenty more to take your place
But now I've gotten into a terrible state
The next day came, I got up late
I tried my best but it all went wrong
Just a broken promise couldn't hurt no one

You got it on a promise
You got it on a promise
Honest, honest, honest
You got it on a promise

You're not wasting time
Everything I say is true
Show some faith in me
Would I lie to you?

When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna make a fresh start
Gonna do good things
Really play my part

When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna do it all
I feel so strong, I feel so tall
When tomorrow comes
I'm gonna do it all
I feel so strong, I feel so tall

You got it on a promise
You got it on a promise
Honest, honest, honest
You got it on a promise

You got it on a promise
Honest, honest, honest
You got it on a promise
Honest, honest, honest
