The Cranberries - Promises Lyrics

Lyrics Promises - The Cranberries




You'd better believe I'm comin'
You'd better believe what I say
You'd better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over
She's going take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway
Why can't you stay here a while?
Stay here awhile, stay with me
Ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we made (promises we made)
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we broke (promises we broke)
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
What of all the things that you taught me?
What of all the things that you'd say?
What of all your prophetic preaching?
You're just throwin' it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearin' them out is just not right
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile, stay with me
Oh-oh, ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we made (promises we made)
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we broke (promises we broke)
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
Ooh, ooh-oh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh, ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we made (promises we made)
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Ohh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
All the promises we broke (promises we broke)
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh, oh-eh
Oh-eh, oh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
