[Intro]

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh


[Verse 1]

"No more lonely nights"

Baby, that's just what you told me (That's what you say)

But you're nowhere to be found

Something just ain't right

'Cause I can't get you to hold me (Here in my place)

Even when you're around


[Pre-Chorus]

Baby, you promised me that you'd always be there for me

Tell me, tell me, what's on your mind?

(Tell me, what's on your mind)


[Chorus]

What happened to the I love you's?

The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous?

What happened to me and you?

You said you'd never change

What happened, baby?

Talk to me

You used to be sugar sweet just like candy

Now you're breaking my heart

With all your broken promises


[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah

(Broken promises)

Broken

(Broken promises)

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Ooh


[Verse 2]

"Open up your eyes"

Baby, that's what people tell me (That's what they say)

But it's hard to let you go

I can't take your lies

If you're spending time with somebody else

Then you gotta let me know


[Pre-Chorus]

Baby, you promised me

That you'd never run a game on me

Tell me, tell me, what's on your mind? (Oh-whoa)


[Chorus]

What happened to the I love you's?

The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous? (Rendezvous)

What happened to me and you?

You said you'd never change (Said you'd never change)

What happened, baby?

Talk to me

You used to be sugar sweet just like candy (Just like candy)

Now you're breaking my heart

With all your broken promises


[Bridge]

You say you're gonna do this (You say you're gonna do this)

And you say you're gonna do that (You say you're gonna do that)

But you never come through (But you never come through)

And something's different lately

'Cause you don't call me baby

And I just don't know what to do (I just don't know what to do)

No, no


[Refrain]

Broken promises

That's what you've given me

Broken promises

Broken promises

That's what you've given me

Broken promises

Oh, whoa, oh

Broken promises

Broken promises

That's what you've given me

Broken promises

Broken promises

That's what you've given me

Broken promises

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Baby, baby, tell me


[Chorus]

What happened to the I love you's? (I love you's)

The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous? (Oh, yeah)

What happened to me and you?

You said you'd never change (You said you'd be there for me, babe)

What happened, baby?

Talk to me

You used to be sugar sweet just like candy (Oh, whoa, whoa)

Now you're breaking my heart

With all your broken promises


[Post-Chorus]

You say you're gonna do this

You say you're gonna do that

What happened to me and you?

You said you'd never change

Baby, baby, tell me

What happened, baby?

Talk to me

You used to be sugar sweet just like candy (And now you're breaking my heart)

And now you're breaking my heart

With all your broken promises


[Refrain]

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah

Stop breaking my heart with all your broken promises
