A Promise You Can't Keep Lyrics by Dwight Yoakam

Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep

BRIDGE:
A statement that's been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin'
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay

Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep

Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep

I heard you swear your love this morning
I heard you swear your love this morning   And it caught me almost wanting to believe   The three little words that serve as warning   And say it's just a promise you can't keep      BRIDGE:   A statement that's been so used   I felt compelled to tell you   But knew there wasn't much to say   I could have threatened leavin'   Or listed hopeless reasons   If I didn't have this need to stay      Three little words should be my warning   'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep      Three little words should be my warning   'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep      I heard you swear your love this morning
