Empty Promises lyrics

In a funny looking glass

Reflection of a face

One that I've seen before

I knock wood

I see you're using me

Always trying to read the score

When you're leading me on

The truth comes then it's gone

With you there's no certainty

In your private schools

You've broken all the rules

Don't you try doing the same thing to me

Oh, you're giving me promises

What did I ever do to you

Empty promises

When am I ever gonna get the truth, oh oh

What am I gonna do, yeah

The first time I kissed you baby

I kiss you in the back of my car

You lead me to believe that

That it's nothing like I see

Honey, that's the way things are

You promise me romance

But that was just a dance

A chance til you took control, yeah

Let me be your private school

I'll teach you the rules

Maybe by the end of the summer

So don't be giving me promises

What did I ever do to you

Empty promises

When am I ever gonna hear the truth

No more promises

What did I, what did I ever do to you

Empty promises

When am I ever gonna get the truth, oh oh

What am I gonna do

Oh, what am I ever gonna do

And you promised me the world

But you dance to a different drummer

Let me be your private school

And I'll teach you the rules

Baby by the end of the summer

Then there'll be no more promises

What did I ever do to you

Empty promises

When am I ever gonna hear the truth

Promises oh oh

Empty promises

When am I gonna hear the truth

Oh oh oh oh

When am I gonna hear the truth

(Promise)

When am I gonna, gonna get the truth

Empty promises

What did I ever do to you
