Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't care if you never come home.
I don't mind if you just
Keep on rolling 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.
And your 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
I don't care what you do late at night.
No, and I don't care how you get your delights.
I'll leave you alone,
I'll just let you be.
I don't love you and you don't love me.
I got a problem, can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate.
We made a vow that we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la la la la la
I tried to love you for years upon years.
You wouldn't take it for real.
It's time you saw what I wanted you to see,
And I'd still love you and you'd still love me.
I got a problem, can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate.
Aw, we made a vow that we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
