Thought I found the right woman
To ease my troubled mind
You said you would be there for me, baby
To the end of time
Thought I had a chance to start all over
You said you'd be there every step of the way
But all I ever get
All I ever get is empty promises, baby
Empty promises, baby
As time went on, we stayed together
I knew you would never change, never change
You said you wouldn't break my heart, just like the others
And we would make it someday
Thought I had a chance to start all over
You said you'd be there every step of the way
But all I ever get
All I ever get is empty promises, baby
Empty promises, baby
Empty promises, baby
You know I want you
Gotta have you, baby
You know I need you
Empty promises
