Promises Promises

Don’t promise me your love — I don’t need it
Don’t swear I’m all you want — I don’t believe it
You think I’m quite a prize
Considerate and wise
Well consider this advice: beat it
Why does every man I meet think they can sway me?
Believe that they’re unique, the one to save me?
They vow they’ll win me round
Every single one’s a clown
Build me up, I’ll burn ‘em down — no maybes
You say you know my true feelings
But if you did you wouldn’t be there kneeling
You say I don’t know love tortures
You know shit — I’ve been hung drawn and quartered
Go find yourself some other lover
A sweet and trusting type, just like your mother
But if you wish my dear, to take a risk my dear
With promises, well here’s another:
«I'll make you pay the price for all the cheating, all the lies
And every promise I once believed in»
