Don’t Make Promises – Marianne Faithfull (originally by Tim Hardin)

It seems the songs we’re singing Are all about tomorrow Tunes of promises that we can’t keep Every moment bringing A love I can only borrow You’re telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I’m not aware Of what you’re saying Or why you’re saying it? Is it hard to keep me where You want me staying? Don’t go on betraying
Don’t make promises that you can’t keep
We had a chance to find it Our time was now or never You promised me things that I need And then the things behind it Took away the chance forever You’re telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I’m not aware Of what you’re saying Or why you’re saying it? Is it hard to keep me where You want me staying? Don’t go on betraying
