Promises (Marc Riley session 2015) Songtext
von Buzzcocks

Oh, loving you was easy, you were on my side
We played the game strictly to the rules
We led the field, a love affair
Which made all other lovers fools, oh

How could you ever let me down?
How could you ever let me down?
How could you ever let me down?
Those promises (Oh-oh)
We made for us (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

We promised that we′d always have time for each other
Whenever I needed, you'd be there
We promised you′d be true, there'd be no other
We promised that forever, we would care, oh


How could you ever let me down?
How could you ever let me down?
How could you ever let me down?
Those promises (Oh-oh)
We made for us (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

We had to change
Oh, but you stayed the same
You wouldn't change
Oh, shame

′Cause you never had any time for me
Whenever I need you, you′re not there
You've never been true and it′s plain to see
The fact is you never even cared, oh

Why did you ever let me down? (Down)
Why did you ever let me down? (Down)
Why did you ever let me down?
Those promises (Oh-oh)
We made for us (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
