Dwight Yoakam A Promise You Can`t Keep Lyrics

A Promise You Can`t Keep Lyrics

I heard you swear your love this morning

And it caught me almost wanting to believe

The three little words that serve as warning

And say it's just a promise you can't keep.



A statement that's been so used

I felt compelled to tell you

But knew there wasn't much to say

I could have threatened leavin'

Or listed hopeless reasons

If I didn't have this need to stay.



Three little words should be my warning

'Cause I know that it's a promise you can't keep.

'Cause I know that it's a promise you can't keep.
