A Promise You Can't Keep Songtext
von Dwight Yoakam

I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it′s just a promise you can't keep


BRIDGE:
A statement that′s been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin'
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn′t have this need to stay

Three little words should be my warning
′Cause I know that's a promise you can′t keep

Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that′s a promise you can't keep

I heard you swear your love this morning
