Promises

Promises
Standing back I can't believe
How you've led me on
And judging by the things you say
There's gotta be something wrong

What you telling me that for you don't mean it
What you telling me that for I don't believe it
Your promises have never been anything you made them seem
So what you gonna promise me this time
You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me
So what you gonna promise me this time
I wanna know

Seems that I've been playing your game
And how you think you've won
But when you count up what you've gained you're the lonely one
What you telling me that for when you don't mean it
What you telling me that for I don't believe it
Your promises have never been anything you made them seem
So what you gonna promise me this time
You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me
So what you gonna promise me this time
Your promises have never been anything you made them seem
So what you gonna promise me this time (you're gonna promise me)
You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me
So what you gonna promise me this time
I'll never know
Promises, promises, promises
What you telling me that for when you don't mean it
What you telling me that for I don't believe it
Your promises have never been anything you made them seem
So what you gonna promise me this time
You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me
So what you gonna promise me this time
Your promises, promises, promises, promises
So what you gonna promise me this time
Telling lies, telling lies, telling lies
So what you're gonna promise me this time
Your promises have never been anything you made them seem
So what you gonna promise me this time

You're telling lies so plain to see, you're trying to make a fool of me
La canción 'Promises' de Take That expresa la frustración y desilusión de alguien que ha sido engañado y manipulado en una relación. El narrador se da cuenta de que ha sido conducido por un camino de mentiras y promesas vacías, y cuestiona la sinceridad y la verdadera intención de la otra persona...
