Lyrics
She came on like a dream barely out of her teens
she still wore a high high school sweater
but the way she grinned man it pulled me in
I was thinking things could only get better

and when she talked to me lord I must confess
I hung on every word
but the minute that I turned my back
I swore I overheard

All those Promises, Promises she said
She was saying again but to someone else instead
now is she playin' us both for a couple of fools or could it really be
she's makin' love to you and Promises to me

Well needless to say I was a little surprised
by this unpredicted turn of events
it was hard to believe she looked so naive
but she was playin' both sides of the fence

and when she talked to him lord I must confess
he hung on every word
but the minute that he turned his back
I know he overheard

All those Promises, Promises she said
She was saying again but to someone else instead
so tell me how does it feel when the tables are turned
and you're the one playin' the fool
she's makin' love to him and Promises to you

She's got a trail of broken hearts
that's a mighty mile long and it's growin' all the time
you thought she was your's
he thought she was his
and I thought she was mine

'Til I heard those Promises, Promises she said
She was saying again but to someone else instead
so don't feel sorry for yourself we've all been in your shoes
she's makin' love to him and Promises to you
