Empty Promises
Songwriter: Michael Burks
Publishing: Eyeball Music, BMI

THOUGHT I’D FOUND THE RIGHT WOMAN TO EASE MY WORRIED MIND
THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE THERE FOR ME, BABY, ‘TIL THE END OF TIME
THOUGHT I HAD A CHANCE TO START ALL OVER
YOU SAID YOU’D BE THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
BUT ALL I EVER GET, ALL I EVER GET IS EMPTY PROMISES, BABY
EMPTY PROMISES

BUT AS TIME WENT ON WE STAYED TOGETHER; I KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER CHANGE
YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T BREAK MY HEART LIKE THE OTHERS, THAT WE WOULD MAKE IT SOME WAY
THOUGHT I HAD A CHANCE TO START ALL OVER
YOU SAID YOU’D BE THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
BUT ALL I EVER GET, ALL I EVER GET IS EMPTY PROMISES
EMPTY PROMISES, BABY

SOLO

EMPTY PROMISES, EMPTY PROMISES, YEAH
ALL I GET FROM YOU IS EMPTY PROMISES, YEAH
SAY, “I NEED YOU”; SAY, “ I LOVE YOU, BABY”
“GOT TO HAVE YOU; LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU, BABY”
EMPTY PROMISES, BABY
EMPTY PROMISES

SOLO

EMPTY PROMISES, BABY
EMPTY PROMISES,BABY, YEAH, EMPTY PROMISES, BABY

EMPTY PROMISES!
