‘Promises’ was a number one rock song in 1999 from British rockers Def Leppard! It was their last top ten hit on the Mainstream Rock charts although they came very close with Paper Sun, the follow up single to ‘Promises’ in 1999.
“Promises” Lyrics:
Last night I was blown away
I said a million things I’d never say
I was knocked right down, it got to me
Gonna get me some of your chemistry
You want me to promise you
That everything is true
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
I won’t make promises that I don’t mean
I’ll even mean the things I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won’t make promises babe, that I can’t keep
Oh my my, I lost control
I told you everything, I said it all
You came right out and said to me
“Gonna get me some of your honesty”
You want me to promise you
That everything is true
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
I won’t make promises that I don’t mean
I’ll even mean the things I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won’t make promises babe, that I can’t keep
You want me to promise you
That everything is true
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
I won’t make promises that I don’t mean
I’ll even mean the things I whisper in my sleep
Oh, let me tell you
I won’t say a single thing darling, that you can’t believe
You gotta believe me
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
Oh baby believe me now
I won’t make promises that I don’t mean
Oh why won’t you believe me now
I’ll even mean the things I whisper in my sleep, yeah
I won’t make promises that I can’t keep
Baby, you gotta believe me
