Promises - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Ah, loving you is easy, you are on my side

We played the game strictly to our rules

We led the field, a love affair

Which made all other lovers fools

Oh, how can you ever let me down? (Down)

How can you ever let me down? (Down)

How can you ever let me down?

These promises are made for us (A-ah, o-o-oh, oh-oh)

We promised that we'd always have time for each other

Whenever I needed, you'd be there

We promised to be true, there'd be no other

We promised that forever, we would care

Oh, how can you ever let me down? (Down)

How can you ever let me down? (Down)

How can you ever let me down?

These promises are made for us (A-ah, o-o-oh, oh-oh)

We had to change, oh, but you stayed the same

You wouldn't change, oh, what a shame

'cause loving you's not easy, you're not on my side

We play a game with two sets of rules

We lead the field in a love affair

Oh, strictly meant for fools

Oh, why did you ever let me down? (Down)

Why did you ever let me down? (Down)

Why did you ever let me down?

Those promises were made for us (A-Ah, o-o-oh, o-oh)

You never have any time for me

Whenever I need you, you're not there

You've never been true and it's plain to see

The fact is, you never really cared

Oh, why did you ever let me down? (Down)

Why did you ever let me down? (Down)

Why did you ever let me down?

Those promises, we made for us (A-Ah, o-o-oh, o-oh)
