Buzzcocks - Promises lyrics

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
