Artist : Eric Clapton
Title : Promises
-----------------
I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on rowing away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
I don't care what you do at night
Oh, oh, I don't care how you get your delights
I'm going to leave you alone, I'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me
I got a problem, can you relate
I got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
I tried to love you for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
That I'd still love you if you'd just love me
I got a problem, can you relate
I got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end
La-la, la-la-la-la
