Promises You Can't Keep

(spoken: For all the guys messing up a good thing. Can we talk)

Inquiring minds wanna know why a man can't just simmer down

(spoken: I said:) Inquiring minds wanna know now people, why a man can't just simmer down

The angels sent him true love but he's still out in the night, sniffing around

(spoken: Haha, nothing but a dog, y'all. But wait a minute, wait a minute now)

Wonder what the boy was thinking when he jumped up and took a wife

(spoken: I'm serious, I said)

Wonder what the boy was thinking, children,

when he jumped up, leaped up, stood up, and took a wife

(spoken: Now you have to wonder)

Knowing that she believes one man, one woman,

while he believes that variety is the spice of life

(spoken: Contradiction, but here's the deal)

Don't make those promises you can't keep, you're just burning your bridges down

Watch those promises you can't keep, broken promises come back around

(spoken: uhoh, uhoh)

Heard the boy was crying this morning, the one he truly loved has gone away

(spoken: He's crying. I hear that)

Heard the boy was crying this morning, the one he truly loved has gone away

(spoken: All you Romeo's, take the warning now)

If you're out there making promises you can't keep,

remember they'll come back to haunt you one day
