Lyrics Promises, Promises - Burt Bacharach

Promises, promises
I'm all through with promises,
Promises now
I don't know how
I got the nerve to walk out

If I shout,
Remember, I feel free
Now, I can look at myself
And be proud
I'm laughing out loud

Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises,
Promises end

I don't pretend
That what was wrong
Can be right

Every night I sleep now,
No more lies
Things that I promised myself
Fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises
Their kind of promises,
Can just destroy a life

Oh, promises
Those kind of promises
Take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can lead to joy
And hope and love
Yes, love!

Every night I sleep now,
No more lies
Things that I promised myself
Fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises
Their kind of promises,
Can just destroy a life

Oh, promises
Those kind of promises
Take all the joy from life

Oh, promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can lead to joy
And hope and love
Yes, love!
