Promises Promises Lyrics - Jean Shepard

You've promised you would be true to me but we both know you could never be 

You've been a puttin' me on since the day we met 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

Then you promised me a ring a weddin' gown and all them things 

But I ain't seen no diamond yet 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

Promises promises that's all I get 

All you gave me since the day we met you'll break my heart in two again I bet 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

[ guitar ] 

And now you tell me you've gone away you swear to me that this time you'll stay 

I can't believe that I'm rid of you yet 

Promises promises that's all I ever get that's all I ever get 

Promises promises that's all I get 

All you gave me since the day we met... 

All you gave me since the day we met...
