A Promise You Can’t Keep Dwight Yoakam

[Intro]
I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe

[Chorus]
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep

[Verse]
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 leaving
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]
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 leaving
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay
