Promises Lyrics - Buzzcocks

Ah, loving you is easy, you are on my side 

We play the game strictly to our rules 

We led the field, a love affair 

Which made all other lovers fools 

Oh 

How can you ever let me down? (how) 

How can you ever let me down? (how) 

How can you ever let me down? 

These promises are made for us (oh-oh) 

We promised that we'd always have time for each other 

Whenever I needed you'd be there 

We promised to be true, there'd be no other 

We promised that for ever we would care 

Oh 

How can you ever let me down? (how) 

How can you ever let me down? (how) 

How can you ever let me down? 

These promises are made for us (oh-oh) 

We had to change 

Oh, but you stayed the same 

You wouldn't change 

Oh, what a shame 

'Cause loving you's not easy, you're not on my side 

We play a game with two sets of rules 

We lead the field in a love affair 

Ah, strictly meant for fools 

Oh 

Why did you ever let me down? (now) 

Why did you ever let me down? (now) 

Why did you ever let me down? 

Those promises were made for us (oh-oh) 

You never have any time for me 

Whenever I need you, you're not there 

You've never been true and it's plain to see 

The fact is you never really cared 

Oh 

Why did you ever let me down? (now) 

Why did you ever let me down? (now) 

Why did you ever let me down? 

Those promises we made for us (oh-oh)
