paroles de chanson Promise (Live At Folk City / 1983) - Violent Femmes

Thank you very much
But we're really not like that

Well, you know that I want your loving
But my logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defenses say I did't want it anyway
'Cause sometimes I'm a liar

Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares

Just what I've been through
Is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign to pursue a promise
And you're unhappy
This is only a guess

Do you know what it's like to hate
When it's way down deep inside?
Oh, God, I hate what's been done to my life
I could rule the pain, I could rule the night
Or would it ruin my salvation?
Ruin my mind, rule your pains, rulers of the night
Ruin your salvation, ruin your mind

You know that I want your loving
But look maybe Mr. Logic tells me that it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defenses say I did't want it anyway
You know, sometimes I'm a liar

Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness
Please ignore my vacant stares

'Cause just what I've been through
Is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign to pursue a promise
A promise

And you're unhappy
And you're unhappy
And you're unhappy
And your unhappy
This is only a guess
