Don't Make Promises

(album: Don't Stop Me Now - 1967)

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises you can't keep
Every moment bringing
The love I could only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware?
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying it

Don't make promises you can't keep

We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
Yeah, but then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware?
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying it

Don't make promises you can't keep

Do you think I'm not aware?
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Hey, is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying it

Don't make promises you can't keep

Hey, don't make promises you can't keep
Don't make promises baby, you can't keep
Hey, don't make promises baby, that you can't keep
Oh, don't make promises baby, you can't keep
