Don't Make Promises lyrics

Song information

Artist: Marianne Faithfull
Album: Love In A Mist

Lyrics

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises that we can't keep
Every moment bringing
A love I can 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

Don't make promises that you can't keep

We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
And 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

Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make promises that you can't keep ...
