Lyrics
PROMISES FORGOTTEN
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)
I’ve got a baby with her hands full.
I got a baby’s got another man.
I got a girlfriend with a timetable.
She fits me in when she can,
but only when she can.
All I ever wanted was someone to love me.
All I ever wanted was someone.
All she ever gives me is excuses.
Promises forgotten in her fun.
Promises forgotten in her fun.
Promises forgotten in her fun.
Promises forgotten.
I’m in a position of part-time passion,
dissatisfied with dissatisfaction.
All of the problems and none of the action.
I got a woman free.
I got a run-around.
I got a problem, you see,
My girl is all over town.
My girl gets around.
I’ve got a baby with her hands full.
I got a baby’s got another man.
I got a girlfriend with a timetable.
She fits me in when she can,
but only when she can.
Promises forgotten in her fun.
Promises forgotten in her fun.
Promises forgotten.
