The Buzzcocks : "Promises"

Promises

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 wed always have time for each other
Whenever I needed youd be there
We promised to be true thered 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 wouldnt change
Oh what a shame

Cos loving yous not easy youre 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 youre not there
Youve never been true and its 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>
