PROMISES
(3:31)
Well, don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted.
Everyday there's a million advances.
Don't be to forceful you'll ruin your chances.
(Well don't you know that,)
Time is a broken glass that splinters against the wall.
But the picture's coming back now, baby.
And I wanna take it all.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep.
There's a time to play the king and a time to be the thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep,
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone.
So let your body move a little bit closer.
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone.
Don't you know that powerful thinking can be a force you don't wanna relinquish?
(Well don't you know that,)
They say that hanging on will justify the wait.
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep.
There's a time to play the king and a time to be the thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep,
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone.
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down.
(Baby)
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground.
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade.
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell.
(Don't go making promises.)
(Don't go making promises.)
'Cause when it comes down to the making,
you'd better be damned sure you can take it.
Hey baby!
(Don't go making promises.)
(Don't go making promises.)
Oooh, ooh. Oooh.
Oh baby. Don't you know baby.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep.
There's a time to play the king and a time to be the thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep,
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep.
There's a time to play the king and a time to be the thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep,
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up a fool, a fool.
A lonely sorry fool.
Oh, baby.
'Cause I told you baby.
