[Verse 1]
She said
"Baby
I'll be true" (oo-yeah!)
But her words fade like the dew (uh-huh!)
She paints her dreams in colors bright
Then leaves 'em hanging in the night
[Chorus]
Promises
Promises
Slipping through her hands
(Oh-oh!) Like sand in the wind
Can't make her stand
She talks so sweet
Yeah
She makes you believe
But promises
Oh promises
She just can't achieve
[Verse 2]
She said
"I'll meet you at the moon!" (woo!)
But the clock struck twelve too soon
She said
"I'll catch the morning train
"
Yet here I stand
Soaked in the rain
[Prechorus]
Oh
She’s got a smile that shines so wide
But her truth hides on the other side
[Chorus]
Promises
Promises
Slipping through her hands
(Oh-oh!) Like sand in the wind
Can't make her stand
She talks so sweet
Yeah
She makes you believe
But promises
Oh promises
She just can't achieve
[Bridge]
(Whoa-oh!) She’s a dreamer
Dancing on a wire
But her plans burn out like a short-lived fire
(Oh-yeah!) Her love’s a rhythm you can’t quite find
Keeps you spinning
Keeps you blind
