Promises In The Dark Lyrics - Bad Examples

I was 23 and living in the city 

I met a long-legged blonde on friday night 

It was a head on collision of passion 

We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night 

On saturday we went out dancing 

I could see she wanted to be free 

She said, "darling, I'm sorry to leave you this way..." 

I said, "how can you walk out on me? " 

(chorus) 

She said, "hey, hey, my, my, what's the story? 

How can you say I broke your heart? 

Someone as old as you should never look for the truth 

In promises made in the dark." 

Well, I went back to her apartment 

I waited all night in my car 

When she got there I said, "hey you can't take him to bed!" 

She said, "who in the hell do you think you are? " 

Chorus 

When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver 

I smiled and I said my farewells 

Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon 

It's not worth getting you killed 

Chorus
