Promises Songtext
von Chena

Here I am, killing time
Waiting for the phone to ring
Wondering what′s on your mind
Uh-huh, and I've given you all my love
All you give me in return
Are empty hours spent alone
Ooh, don′t you know that

Promises are words so sweet
You keep making promises (Promises)
Promises are words so deep
I'm holding on to promises you never keep

So I try to touch (Touch) your inner soul
Open up your heart to me
And tell me why are you so cold
'Cause I don′t know why you promised me all the world
But riches don′t mean guarantees
I just wanna be your girl
And my mama said that, baby


Promises are words so sweet
You keep making promises (Promises)
Promises are words so deep
I'm holding on to promises you never keep

I wanted to believe you (Believe you)
You know, you know how much I need you tonight
All I wanna do is please you (Please you)
Please you, but promises won′t help to make it right, no

Promises are words so sweet
You keep making promises (Promises)
Promises are words so deep
I'm holding on to promises you never keep
Promises are words so sweet
You keep making promises (Promises)
Promises are words so deep
I′m holding on to promises you never keep

Hey, when I close my eyes and I open them
I just wanna know that you'll be there
When I hold out my arms to you
I have to know that you′re reaching for them, that's all
You see, boy, you don't have to buy me expensive things to please me
′Cause I′ll love you forever and that's a promise


I need more than promises (So, baby)
I need more than promises (So)

Don′t promise me no diamond rings
Fancy cars and all those things
What I need, boy, you can't buy
What I want is what′s inside
I just wanna be, I just wanna be your girl
Your world, your everything, boy, can't you see
′Cause you keep making, you keep breaking
You keep breaking
I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I′m holding on
I need more, I need so much more
