Promises

The 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 can you ever let me down

How can you ever let me down

These promises are made for us



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 can you ever let me down

How can you ever let me down

These promises are made for us



We had to change

But you stayed the same

You wouldn't change

Oh what a shame



Cos 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

Why did you ever let me down

Why did you ever let me down

Those promises were made for us



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

Why did you ever let me down

Why did you ever let me down

Those promises we made for us
